Full Description

What To Expect The Autopilot Firmware Platforms team builds foundational systems that enable engineers to develop, validate, iterate, and deliver Tesla’s cutting-edge AI platform. As a part of this team, you will create highly capable test frameworks, scalable infrastructure, and backend services that empower teams to test, analyze, and continuously improve Autopilot firmware with minimal constraints.

In this role, you will design scalable test platforms with novel testing capabilities that are required for new Tesla products and features. You will architect and implement systems that automate test scheduling and execution, visualize and extract insights from complex data, and drive continuous improvement across products and infrastructure. You will deliver robust, modular, and intuitive software that accelerates development cycles, improves efficiency, and ensures Tesla’s products remain at the forefront of the industry. In a fast-paced environment where innovation happens at scale, your contributions will directly shape the reliability, performance, and quality of Tesla’s Autopilot systems.

What You'll Do

Design, implement, and maintain software frameworks to support Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and simulation-based testing for Autopilot firmware and software Develop and manage infrastructure-as-code solutions to automate CI/CD workflows for the Firmware Platforms team Build scalable systems to aggregate, visualize, and analyze large volumes of test data across diverse test variants Collaborate closely with engineering teams to ensure tools simplify workflows, improve productivity, and enhance platform capabilities Integrate LLM-based tooling to accelerate test failure analysis Deliver clean, maintainable, and modular code that accelerates development and supports rapid deployment of automated testing systems

What You'll Bring

Strong foundation in software engineering principles and advanced proficiency in Python, including object-oriented design, multi-threading, and scripting Demonstrated ownership of HIL and/or SIL testing frameworks Hands-on experience with containerization technologies such as Docker or Singularity and CI/CD tools like Jenkins, TeamCity, or Artifactory Comfortable working in Linux/Unix environments and proficient in Bash or other scripting languages Demonstrated ability to work independently and deliver high-quality, scalable software solutions
