What to Expect
The Tesla Battery Cell Data Team owns the database pipeline and databases that store battery test data.
We build web applications to view that data, start battery tests, and plan groups of tests.
Our applications support hundreds of global users; our pipeline supports test labs across the world and dozens of different data streams.
We are comprised of data and software engineers.
We stay close to our end user and engineers on our team have autonomy to define the vision for their products.
As a member of the Cell Data Team, you will write code to extract the data from our battery cyclers, transform the current voltage time data into meaningful battery measurements, and load that data in our various data storage layers.
By efficiently loading the data and making it available, you will greatly enhance our ability to make informed decisions regarding new battery technologies, drive down battery costs, and accelerate the transition to sustainable energy.
What You’ll Do
Write modular Python code to manipulate high density current, voltage, time data into metrics that can be used to make battery decisions
Work with stakeholders from across Tesla to align on needs, the minimum viable product, and future iterations of the product
Write code to interface with battery testers
Build data pipelines that are reliable, maintainable, and scalable
Leverage existing APIs to fetch metadata about a battery cell; gracefully handle service disruptions from external APIs
Provide mentorship and code review to junior engineers
Design metrics around the performance of the data pipelines
What You’ll Bring
Proficiency in Python
Experience with unit tests, integration tests, and end to end tests
Experience with reading from and creating relational databases
Experience building distributed systems and extracting, loading and transforming large data sets
Experience with Golang and Docker is a plus
Experience manipulating Pandas or Spark data frames is a plus
Experience building public-facing APIs is a plus
Experience with electrochemistry is a plus
BS/MS in Computer Science or related area with strong software engineering experience
