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.

• Development of scalable real-time embedded software that implements sensing, control and safety management of the Tesla Bot actuators
• Bring up new sensors, communication networks and new PCBA 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 and controls team to specify hardware actuation, sensing requirements and influence electronics designs

• Minimum of 2 years of relevant experience in real-time embedded software development
• BS in Computer Science, Physics, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, proof of exceptional skills in related fields with practical software engineering experience, or equivalent
• Proficiency in C, familiarity with Python are a plus
• Experience with reading electrical schematics and understanding circuit behavior
• Knowledge of microcontroller peripherals such as ADC, PWM, SPI and I2C, ethernet and CAN
• Experience working with sensors and digital signal processing
• Experience working with the physical and data link layers of ethernet and/or other communication protocols
