Software Engineer, Development Experience

What to Expect

This team builds critical tools and infrastructure that enable Tesla to develop software with precision and agility. Our mission is to enhance productivity, minimize the potential for human error, and optimize development processes. The team’s core technology is an infrastructure that describes how our complex control systems communicate, and augments the engineering process with analysis, visualization, and code generation tools.

As a member of this team, you will shape the landscape for how Tesla designs future systems. This is a software development role that requires someone who likes to think about the big picture. You will work with component owners across vehicle, robot, and energy organizations to develop new technologies that act as an engineering force multiplier. You will excel on this team if you thrive on autonomy and enjoy the freedom (and responsibility) of driving your own projects from concept to completion.

What You’ll Do

• Develop code generators for highly efficient embedded code and work with component teams to integrate with microcontrollers

• Design scalable distributed systems that run heavy asynchronous workloads to analyze the impact of every firmware change

• Advance our developer tooling to scale up with the rapidly increasing number of products and variants

• Identify opportunities to improve organizational efficiency and reduce costs in developer workflows

• Design, develop, and deploy tools and services to augment the development process

• Interface with key leaders of components spanning all Tesla products including energy, autopilot, robot, powertrain and vehicle controls, and service

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or the equivalent in experience with evidence of exceptional ability

• Proficiency in Rust and Python

• Excitement to develop internal tooling

• Autonomy and resourcefulness to drive solutions from initially ambiguous requirements

• Excellent interpersonal, communication, and collaboration skills
