Tesla

What to Expect

As a Hardware in the Loop Software Engineer, on the High Voltage Systems team, you will be responsible for the delivery and quality of battery management systems. We are looking to build capabilities that allow us to automate and accelerate the testing of these critical firmware components. You will be responsible for designing and implementing tools and methods for validating component firmware using simulation and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) frameworks. These tools will be used daily to drive the performance, quality, and safety of Tesla's world class electric vehicles. This is an opportunity to advance the most powerful and innovative sustainable battery technology in the EV industry and to directly contribute to a purely electric future of transportation. 

What You’ll Do

• Design, specify, and implement infrastructure of a sophisticated simulation and validation system for vehicle high voltage systems 
• Design a hardware-in-the-loop testing (HIL) framework capable of testing the firmware (written in C++, some C) and model (written in MATLAB) 
• Develop and integrate within continuous integration systems 
• Understand and deconstruct complicated software systems and devise strategies to test these systems 
• Design and develop the data transfer protocol/software to be used in both the hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL) testing system 
• Result logging and analysis 

What You’ll Bring

• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or the equivalent in experience and evidence of exceptional ability 
• 2+ years creating and developing automated simulation/testing frameworks 
• Relevant experience working with hardware systems, including schematic capture, architecture or testing 
• Strong C++/C and a proficiency in a common scripting language like Python with excellent software design and architecture skills 
• Knowledge of source control (Git), continuous integration (Jenkins), and Linux experience 
• Understanding of embedded systems concepts (CAN, SPI, I2C, TCP/IP) 
• Experience with electronic systems, circuits, reading schematics, and interpreting layouts 
• Strong intuition for, and interest in, designing systems for testability and scalability 
• Experience with low-power or high-power battery and charging systems preferred 
• Experience developing hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) validation systems preferred
