Job Description

What to Expect
The Systems Validation team is responsible for validating all software driven, system level, vehicle requirements prior to any new hardware or software release or new product introduction.This includes inventing and building state of the art automated test infrastructure to increase the efficiency and precision of testing used throughout the development and validation cycle.

The team is looking for multiple software and systems engineers to support Drive Systems, Brakes, Steering, Suspension, Crash Safety, Thermal Management, HVAC, Body Controls, Lighting, Access Controls, Battery Management, Charging, Power Conversion, High and Low Voltage Power Distribution and Autonomy.

In this role, you will be responsible for designing, executing, and automating test strategies to validate cutting-edge vehicle software systems. Your work will directly impact the performance, reliability, and safety of Teslas vehicles by ensuring seamless integration of software across various subsystems.

What Youll Do
Develop and execute comprehensive, system-level validation strategies for vehicle software, ensuring compliance with functional and performance requirements

Design and implement automated and manual test cases, including the use of Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) testing methodologies

Develop test infrastructure and automation frameworks using Python, C++ and Rust to improve test efficiency and precision

Develop prototype test setups to integrate new subsystems with simulated or actual vehicle components, utilizing software driven test automation

Work closely with software, hardware, modelling, controls and development engineers to identify, diagnose, and resolve issues early in the development cycle

Analyze test results, generate reports, and provide recommendations for product improvements

Investigate real-world field issues, identify root causes, and work with cross-functional teams to implement corrective actions

Continuously look for ways to improve the safety, performance, and customer satisfaction with Tesla products

What Youll Bring
Degree in Computer Science, Mechatronics, Electrical, Mechanical or Systems Engineering or equivalent experience

Strong fundamentals in electrical, mechanical, thermal, controls and systems engineering concepts

Ability to analyze complex systems and develop robust, comprehensive test coverage

Hands on experience debugging complex systems involving networked microprocessors and software-controlled electrical and electromechanical sensors and actuators

Experience with test automation, object-oriented software design (Python, C++, Rust), and debugging tools

Experience with HIL/SIL environments, test benches, and simulation-based validation

Experience with vehicle communication protocols (CAN, LIN, Ethernet) and diagnostic tools

Experience analyzing and parsing data to develop technical insights

Ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with cross-functional teams

Minimum 2 years experience utilizing the skills above
