Work with the design and development engineers throughout the engineering organization to ensure the relevant subsystems are designed with appropriate requirements, interfaces, and interactions to achieve specific vehicle functions
Break down new, high-level feature requests into sub-system and component level requirements, and drive the implementation, testing and release of these features against Tesla’s software release schedule
Utilize critical analysis of potential failure modes and effects to influence these requirements
Develop overall validation strategy for these features and work with validation teams to ensure automated test coverage is implemented for future firmware releases
Work cross-functionally across mechanical, electrical, system architecture, software development and software validation teams to understand new component-level hardware changes which are being developed and how to support them in firmware – both in manufacturing and for customer use – so that they can be seamlessly introduced to our vehicle platforms
Dig into data and source code to identify and debug issues at the system level and propose robust solutions
Work with manufacturing and service to ensure the function(s) are rolled out and functioning properly (can include development of processes, diagnostic tools and methods, and root-cause diagnosis for product issues)
Collaborate with validation teams to design tests, identify areas of concern, and rectify any bugs
Lead and manage integration of initial prototype systems including bring-up, debug, and engineering test of alpha- and beta-phase prototype vehicles
