Job Description

The Chassis Controls team is looking for a Software QA Engineer to create and develop validation software, test cases, infrastructure, and tooling to validate Tesla braking system firmware, such as Brake-by-Wire. As a Software QA Engineer, you will conceptualize, design and build software validation tools that allow rapid algorithm development, testing against real world data, regression analysis, and integrate physics-based models. You will also be closely involved with the braking system functionality, expanding our test coverage and pushing to break the code. This is a unique opportunity to build innovative infrastructure, tooling, automation, validation systems, and more. You will be challenged to apply this across all products including Cybertruck, Cybercab, and Roadster across all operating modes from Self-driving to track and factory support. We are a small team with deep system expertise who strive to build reliable, highly performant, distributed embedded systems using cutting edge software development tools and practices. We are looking for someone with similar domain expertise who is excited about working on a core vehicle function that defines the Tesla driving experience.

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.
