Steering Systems Integration Engineer, Chassis Controls

Tesla’s Chassis Controls team is seeking a Steering Systems Integration Engineer who will be a systems expert on steering control functions and will be responsible for ensuring that new steering software features are designed, implemented, and validated to achieve Tesla’s standards for safety and customer experience.As a Steering Systems Integration Engineer, you are expected to be an expert of your system, have a deep understanding of software – hardware dependencies and be able to communicate constraints, risks, and mitigations to guide vehicle programs. You will employ sound systems engineering principles to guide a team of engineers through safety critical software development. You may need to wear multiple hats throughout the life of a program based on your system’s needs from performing fleet data analytics to writing code. You are expected to move projects along at an aggressive pace – keeping track of program milestones and deliverables and pulling together the contributions of many teams into a cohesive final product. You will also need to get your hands dirty in the details – dig through source code, root cause issues, and propose solutions to complex problems, as well as test prototype firmware implementations in-vehicle at proving grounds around the world.Work with the design and development engineers throughout the engineering organization to ensure systems are designed with appropriate requirements, interfaces, and interactions to achieve specific vehicle functionsDevelop overall validation strategy for these features and work with validation teams to ensure test coverage and traceabilityWork cross-functionally across mechanical, electrical, system architecture, firmware development and firmware validation teams to understand new component-level hardware changes and support them in firmware – both in manufacturing and for customer use – so that they can be seamlessly introduced to our vehicle platformsDevelop and execute firmware integration test plans on new hardware components and firmware features to rapidly retire risk from new designs and provide feedback to the development teamsWork with manufacturing and service to ensure the functions are rolled out and functioning properly.
