Job Description

The Gateway team is seeking a Software Engineer to design the frameworks and infrastructure that validate the current and next generation of Tesla products, including the Cybercab and Robotaxi platforms. The Gateway sits at the heart of every Tesla vehicle and performs several mission-critical functions—including, but not limited to, delivering Over-the-Air updates, logging and telemetry, and providing a highly available gear-shifting interface via the display.<br>You will build the automated tools and test infrastructure that ensure we deliver high-quality, robust, and reliable software across all of these functions. With Tesla's fleet spanning millions of vehicles, your work will prove that the Gateway holds up not just in the lab, but at scale in the real world. Join a team of engineers who solve challenging problems in embedded software validation by prioritizing automation—building test systems that scale with the product and catch issues before they ever reach a vehicle.

About the Company

Tesla

Makes electric cars, robotaxis and grid batteries

Tesla makes electric cars and batteries that store power for homes and utilities, and it develops self-driving software and humanoid robots. In 2023, its Model Y became the first electric vehicle to rank as the world's best-selling car. Buyers order the Model 3 sedan, Model Y SUV, or Cybertruck pickup directly from Tesla instead of through dealers, and they charge on its Supercharger fast-charging network. It also sells Megapack and Powerwall batteries, runs a robotaxi service, and charges drivers a monthly fee for self-driving software that still needs their supervision. Tesla was founded in 2003, with Elon Musk as its lead early investor and a recognized co-founder, and it is based in Austin, Texas.
