Software Integration Engineer, Low Voltage Power

What to Expect
The Low Voltage Power Team is responsible for power distribution on all Tesla vehicle platforms.

As a Software Integration Engineer on this team, you work side by side with various cross-functional teams to lead the design and development of the power management firmware. This includes, but is not limited to, low voltage power redundancy and latent fault detection for by-wire and autonomous vehicles, vehicle fault and crash behaviors, power management for over-the-air updates (OTAs), and low / idle power modes and sleep features.

This role utilizes hardware, software, and system design fundamentals to support new product design, define vehicle behaviors, bring-up prototypes, and validation. Low Voltage Power Software Integration Engineers are leading new technology development for the next generations of Tesla vehicles and are responsible for overall functionality and performance of low voltage power distribution systems throughout product life cycle.
