What to Expect
Tesla’s Autonomy Telemetry team is charged with collecting and processing all the data that fuels the development of Autopilot and Optimus, our Humanoid robot.
Every vehicle and robot includes a sophisticated sensor suite and internet connectivity.
This allows us to gather data from our fleet of millions of vehicles around the world to feed the training of our Neural Networks, providing Tesla with a significant competitive advantage in the race to full autonomy.
The Telemetry team is responsible for the full lifecycle of this data: from specifying interesting events for data collection, to efficiently recording as much relevant data as possible on our embedded autopilot computer, to processing the data in the cloud.
What You’ll Do
Build new frameworks and applications for collecting data on our embedded Linux platform.
Improve monitoring and metrics throughout our entire software stack.
Increase scalability of our data collection as Autopilot’s data needs continue to grow.
Bring up telemetry for new types of sensors and vehicle platforms.
Work closely with all consumers of our data, including computer vision/AI, neural network training infrastructure, and data labeling teams.
What You’ll Bring
Experience programming C/C++ software, including modern C/C++ (C++11/14/17/20) and multithreading
Strong Linux fundamentals (embedded environments, preferred)
Experience with efficient networking and disk I/O
Excellent problem solving, critical thinking, and communication skills
Experience with RTOS or bare-metal embedded development is a plus
BS in Computer Science, Physics, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, proof of exceptional skills in related fields with practical software engineering experience, or equivalent
