Tesla is a leader in innovative technology, pioneering advancements in autonomous vehicles and humanoid robotics. Our cutting-edge AI platform powers some of the most advanced systems globally, including Autopilot for vehicles and humanoid robots. 

As a Validation Engineer for Integration within our Autonomy teams, you will play a crucial role in advancing our AI platform's integration with vehicles and humanoid robotics. You'll be at the forefront of testing and validating features that leverage the power of Tesla AI, ensuring seamless functionality across various platforms.  

You will be responsible for identifying gaps in test coverage, building test systems, and publishing reliability metrics for the explicit software stack at the convergence of system interfaces, sensors, actuators, and applications.  

The team contributes to the development and deployment of new features on both vehicles and robotics platforms. Join us in shaping the future of mobility and robotics technology. 

• Work with software developers and hardware designers to cultivate an expert understanding of sensors, actuators, telemetry, and other sub-systems and their interfaces with the autonomy computer 

• Develop and execute comprehensive system and sub-system level test specifications and test plans and provide feedback to development team 

• Identify risks to interfaces and mechanisms that enable redundancy and fail-operational behaviors 

• Build tools and methods to execute tests and evaluate results efficiently and repeatedly on HIL and SIL environments 

• Develop prototype test setups to integrate new subsystems with simulated or actual vehicle components 

• Investigate field issues through data analysis and issue reproduction 

• Navigate production source code to identify and debug issues and propose robust solutions.
