Tesla
Software Integration Engineer, High Voltage Systems
Tesla, Palo Alto, California, United States, 94306
Tesla's High Voltage Systems Firmware Integration Team is seeking an Integration Engineer who will be responsible for ensuring firmware support for new features and new hardware are designed, implemented, and tested to achieve Tesla's standards for safety and customer experience.The High Voltage System is compared of the controllers and firmware that monitor the battery, control high voltage power distribution, charge the battery and provide power to the low voltage system. High Voltage System Integration Engineers are responsible for the performance, requirements and feature design of one or more of these components.
Responsibilities
Work with the Design and Development Engineers throughout the engineering organization to ensure the relevant subsystems are designed with appropriate requirements, interfaces and interactions to achieve specific vehicle functionsBreak down new, high-level feature requests into sub-system and component level requirements, and drive the implementation, testing and release of these features against Tesla's firmware release scheduleUtilize critical analysis of potential failure modes and effects to influence these requirementsDevelop overall validation strategy for these features and work with validation teams to ensure automated test coverage is implemented for future firmware releasesWork cross-functionally across mechanical, electrical, system architecture, firmware development and firmware validation teams to understand new component-level hardware changes which are being developed and how to 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 teams to accelerate our aggressive development cyclesDig into data and source code to identify and debug issues at the system level and propose robust solutionsWork with manufacturing and with service to ensure the function(s) are rolled out and functioning properly. This can include development of processes, diagnostic tools and methods, and root-cause diagnosis for product issuesDevelop prototype test setups to integrate new subsystems with simulated and actual vehicle componentsLead and manage integration of initial prototype systems including bring-up, debug, and engineering test of alpha- and beta-phase prototype vehiclesRequirements
Degree in Mechatronics, Electrical, Computer Engineering or equivalent experienceExceptional ability to keep multiple projects moving forwards in parallelHands-on technical experience debugging complex systems involving networked microprocessors and software-controlled electrical or electromechanical devicesProven ability to use programming to solve challenging problems and increase own/team's efficiency through automationExperience with C or C++ required, Python is a plusAbility to fluently interpret system data to gain a full understanding of logged eventsThorough understanding of mechanical fundamentals - and ability to apply them to automotive conceptsAbility to read and understand electrical schematicsExperience with CAN and Ethernet networking is a plusExperience with Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA) is a plusCompensation and BenefitsBenefits
