Embedded Software Engineer, Optimus

Tesla is on a path to building humanoid robots at scale to automate repetitive and boring tasks. We are looking for firmware engineers to develop embedded platform drivers and application layer code for various robotics applications on our TeslaBot platform. In this role, you will develop scalable drivers to interface with an ASIC or bring up a new communication protocol or optimize existing drivers to improve performance or write application-level modules to achieve a specific function on a given subsystem. The robotics firmware team is small, passionate, and fast moving. Come join a team of deeply knowledgeable engineers that strive to build the most robust and reliable embedded systems using cutting edge software development tools and practices.

Responsibilities

Development of scalable real-time embedded software that implements sensing, control and safety management of the Tesla Bot subsystems Bring up new sensors, communication networks, power and battery systems, and new boards for various robotic applications Develop automated tests to ensure high quality software releases and accurate functionality Be involved in the full life cycle of firmware development from concept through integration, test, and release as our fleet of robot grows Work closely with the hardware team to specify sensing, power delivery, battery and charging requirements and influence electronics designs

Requirements

2+ years of relevant experience in real-time embedded software development Degree in Computer Science, Physics, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or proof of exceptional skills in related fields, with practical software engineering experience, or equivalent experience Proficiency in C, familiarity with Python is a plus Experience with reading electrical schematics and understanding circuit behavior Knowledge of microcontroller peripherals such as ADC, PWM, SPI, I2C and CAN, data link layers like Ethernet or other communication protocols Experience working with sensors and digital signal processing Familiarity with RTOS and multicore application design Experience with MISRA C or other safety-critical coding standards, power management, battery, and power budgeting is a plus
