Instead of going on coffee runs and making copies, you’ll be seated at the table making critical decisions that will influence not only your team, but the overall achievement of Tesla’s mission. 

The Tesla Energy team is bringing battery and power electronics technology to the grid to facilitate a renewable energy ecosystem, and increase grid reliability and versatility. Tesla is leveraging its breakthrough powertrain technology and manufacturing scale to develop and deploy grid connected storage at residential, industrial, and utility levels. 

Tesla Energy is looking for a Firmware Engineering Intern to develop next generation software for product functionality, diagnostics, testing, and validation. 

As a firmware developer intern on the bus controller and thermal firmware team, you will be responsible for ensuring the accurate testing and coverage reporting of embedded code running on Tesla Energy products. In addition, the role includes designing and maintaining embedded hardware and software test environments that simulate real world system interactions and report automated results on a regular basis. Come join a team of deeply knowledgeable engineers that strive to build the most robust and reliable embedded systems using cutting edge software development tools and practices. 

You will also be developing software on Tesla Energy’s powerful next-gen embedded Linux platform. You will be developing functionality that was not possible before, such as built-in diagnostic controls, status visualizations, and more detailed telemetry. Your work will have a direct impact on Tesla’s customer experience, manufacturing, and internal serviceability.
