About the position
As an Embedded Systems Software Engineering Intern on the High Voltage System (HVS) Team, you will have the opportunity to help deliver the high-quality software that enables our vehicles to be the best in the world. The team develops all the software required to make our products (past, present, and future) the best they can be by writing low-level firmware drivers, implementing software algorithms, and designing and building validation/test infrastructure. The HVS team places an especially large emphasis on ensuring we deliver a product that is safe, reliable, has high-quality user-facing indicators (i.e. range, SOC, power, etc.), and optimizes our overall customer experience. Your efforts with the team to engineer robust, scalable, and performant systems would directly contribute to meeting each of those goals.
Responsibilities
- Develop low-level FW drivers to support new and existing microcontrollers
- Design and implement real-time software algorithms for features across the high voltage system including the battery management system, power conversion system, the charge port, and more
- Work with various cross-functional teams to develop requirements and test plans for new software features, diagnostics, algorithms, etc.
- Develop scalable software-in-the-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) infrastructure for rapid prototyping, simulation, and validation
- Develop and enhance existing battery and hardware models to ensure simulations are representative of the real-world
- Design simulation frameworks that are flexible to being integrated both with other Tesla subcomponents as well as behavioral models for those subcomponents
Requirements
- Currently working towards a degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field of study with a graduation date between December 2025- August 2026
