Tesla
Sr. Software Engineer, Full Stack, Vehicle Engineering
Tesla, Palo Alto, California, United States, 94306
Tesla's Materials Engineering Department is at the heart of anything we make. They are responsible for all the properties of all the materials used in any of Tesla's products. Through understanding of Material's Process-Structure-Properties relationships they store, link, and predict existing material properties. This same expertise also enables Materials Engineering to develop new materials and processes that revolutionize Tesla's products.The way we store, link, and use materials information is critical to the development of new materials and products. As a software engineer working on our materials application, you will be responsible for managing the multiple systems powering many day to day engineering activities and R&D efforts that generate, store, and consume Materials data.
