Sr. Embedded Firmware Development Engineer

The Tesla’s Sensing Team is looking for a stellar Senior Embedded Firmware Development Engineer with an expertise in developing real-time embedded software implementing highly advanced signal processing and machine learning algorithms using C/C++ and with scripting/tooling using Matlab/Python etc. The main responsibility of this role is to deliver a high-quality, robust, rigorously tested, and maintainable production grade embedded application firmware for various systems covering various sensors in a car assisting the autopilot system. The candidate should be able to use embedded system tools and troubleshoot and debug hard issues using the first principles. The candidate is also expected to get their hands dirty in the details of their sub-systems – digging through source code, root causing issues and proposing solutions to complex problems, as well as testing prototype firmware implementations in-lab as well as in-vehicle. More than half of the development time is spent on performing rigorous testing and validation of SW.

Responsibilities

Develop and automate test and verification/validation involving building test suite from scratch to continuous regression using Matlab/Python/C and C++ Design, development, and analysis of system and software architectures for various sensing systems Writing, testing, and debugging embedded FW developed using C/C++ running on target devices Evaluate various existing and new sensor technologies for next generation sensor systems by bringing up prototype software and testing in lab Hands-on testing work such as testing of sensor systems in laboratory and in-car drives Writing software requirements, test cases, reviewing requirements and code, etc. Mentoring other team members and interns Collaborate with a broad range of cross-functional teams including mechanical, software, program management, and senior leadership​

Requirements

Bachelor’s Degree in Computer or Electrical Engineering or related field or equivalent experience Minimum 5+ years of experience in embedded C/C++ coding skills for embedded system development Minimum 5+ years of experience in Python/Matlab for scripting and testing of embedded systems implementing DSP and ML algorithms, and data analysis Experience with using real time embedded OS such as FreeRTOS, as well as Linux Working knowledge of device drivers for microcontroller peripherals (SPI, I2C, UART, DMA, IRQ, USB, timers, ADCs, DACs, Flash, etc.) Experience with automotive CAN and CAN-FD interface Experience working with Docker, GIT, toolchains (GNU, IAR, etc.), bootloaders, linkers scripts Working knowledge of board bring-up, profiling, JTAG/SWD debugging, Dedi-prog, etc. Knowledge of basic DSP building blocks (FIR, IIR, FFT, etc.) preferred Ability to troubleshoot hardware using logic analyzers, oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers
