Join to apply for the Embedded Security Engineer, Vehicle Software role at Tesla

What To Expect
Other car companies have talked for years about a future of "connected cars." At Tesla, we make it happen. We regularly send Over-the-Air software updates to our vehicle fleet, seamlessly delivering new features and improvements to our customers. Our mobile applications allow customers to interact with their cars via real-time, low-latency two-way communication. Today, we remotely identify potential vehicle issues before a customer does—and often fix problems remotely too. To this end, Information and Product Security is of the utmost importance.

Tesla is looking for a strong Embedded Security Engineer to help with the design and development of its next generations of embedded software security systems in vehicles, batteries, and charging systems. This is a highly cross-functional role, where you will work collaboratively to implement security features, assess requirements for security controls, build and design software systems to achieve those requirements efficiently, and the development of those systems. In short, as an Embedded Security Engineer at Tesla, you will be responsible for helping build the embedded software that keeps all of our products secure, while providing customer-facing connected services and sophisticated remote diagnostics.

What You'll Bring

Proven record of designing and delivering software security systems for internet-connected embedded devices

Experience incorporating hardware-based security techniques (Hardware Security modules, TrustZone, Secure Boot, etc) into a robust hardware/software system design

Sound knowledge of Cryptography fundamentals and Public Key Infrastructure

Extensive experience creating, presenting, and refining clear, compelling technical specifications from top-level system architecture documents down to low-level implementation guides and test plans
