Firmware Validation Engineer, Low Voltage Power

Firmware Validation Engineer, Low Voltage PowerJoin to apply for the Firmware Validation Engineer, Low Voltage Power role at TeslaOverviewThe Low Voltage Power Firmware Team is responsible for power distribution and LV battery management systems (BMS) on vehicle platforms. As an engineer on this team, you will validate the quality and safety of the power management embedded firmware. This includes validating LV power redundancy and latent fault detection for by-wire and autonomous vehicles, vehicle fault and crash behaviors, power management for over-the-air updates (OTAs), and low/idle power modes and sleep features.You will architect and implement firmware validation procedures, equipment, tooling, and automation to efficiently test vehicle components and subsystems. You will work closely with development and integration engineers to design and validate the performance capabilities of our hardware and firmware to ensure code quality. Your effort to create and equip automated validation infrastructure and coverage reporting will impact safety, reliability, robustness, and value of our products.What You/'ll DoDevelopment of discrete simulation software including modeling of circuitry, hardware peripherals, and emulation of bare-metal drivers. (Python, Rust, C, Docker, Scons)Design of automated component-HIL testers for validation of power domain fault detection and power availability on steer-by-wire and autonomous platforms (Python, Jenkins)Collaborate with development and integration engineers to design robust, automated test strategies to meet safety and homologation requirementsLeverage a deep understanding of vehicle system behaviors to evaluate code and functional changes holistically, mitigate risk, and provide high-quality feedback throughout the product lifecycleDrive innovation, quality and performance of vehicle software by pioneering novel validation infrastructure and tooling, and by enhancing simulation engine fidelity and user experienceScale existing validation coverage and optimize build efficiency to leverage cluster computing resourcesExplore methods to measure and metrics to evaluate the quality, coverage, and traceability of automated regression testsWhat You/'ll BringBachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experienceMinimum of 1 year of relevant experience (embedded design/validation)Proficiency in Python; comprehension of C; experience with Rust and Verilog preferredExpertise testing devices and debugging hardware (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, DMM)Desire to improve code robustness and design testing infrastructureAbility to think creatively and produce “outside of the box” solutionsExperience in electronic and systems schematic design & capture (Altium Designer) preferredExperience designing or interfacing with Hardware/Software-in-the-loop (HIL/SIL) test setups preferredKnowledge of source control (Git), CI via GitHub, Docker, Jenkins preferredAbility to read and interpret electrical schematics and hardware datasheetsBenefits and CompensationExpected Compensation: $133,440 - $246,720 annual salary + cash and stock awards + benefits.
