Software Validation Engineer, Power Conversion & Charging System

Software Validation EngineerThe Power Conversion & Charging Systems team develops, integrates, and validates real-time embedded software that bridges high/low voltage systems, chargers, actuators, and grid infrastructure. Our systems power & charge every Tesla we ship worldwide, serving mission-critical features from daily driving & charging to Powershare & FSD. As a Software Validation Engineer, you'll be a key member of the design team, partnering closely with talented design engineers and cross-functional partners, shaping both today's vehicles and the products and features still ahead.

You will build validation plans, test cases, and automation tooling that accelerate development and meaningfully expand test coverage. Through the lens of validation, you will also create simulation infrastructure — including circuit model simulation, virtual vehicle systems, and fault injection simulations — so the team can explore, prove, and harden designs faster and with greater confidence. Join a dedicated, highly skilled team and help deliver cutting-edge products that make a real impact.ResponsibilitiesDevelop firmware test plans & test cases for current and future products using C/C++, pytest or gtest on Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) & Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) platformsDevelop simulation model & fault injection platforms for firmware validation such as circuit simulation in software, FPGA and HILWork with integration, system validation and firmware engineers to create & maintain safety concepts, requirements, and test plans for new productsDevelop software tooling and data pipeline to create & upload test coverage reports onto Tesla's internal server for firmware release and sign-offCreate & integrate pipelines and workflows to upload testing data or report from simulation sweepsCreate test filtering and load balancing infrastructure to keep build times in CI/simulation cluster downRequirementsDegree in Computer Science, Mechatronics, Electrical, Mechanical or Systems Engineering or equivalent experienceStrong Python and scripting skills with SI enablementStrong electrical engineering & circuit fundamentalsExperience creating validation plans for embedded systemsExperience with pytest, gtest or an equivalent testing frameworkExperience working with CI/CD, data pipelines, data analysis, PCBA schematics, FPGA design, and circuit model simulation is a plusCompensation & BenefitsBenefitsAlong with competitive pay, as a full-time Tesla employee, you are eligible for the following benefits at day 1 of hire:Medical plans > plan options with $0 payroll deductionFamily-building, fertility, adoption and surrogacy benefitsDental (including orthodontic coverage) and vision plans, both have options with a $0 paycheck contributionCompany Paid (Health Savings Accounts) HSA Contribution when enrolled in the High-Deductible medical plan with HSAHealthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)401(k) with employer match, Employee Stock Purchase Plans, and other financial benefitsCompany paid Basic Life, AD&DShort-term and long-term disability insurance (90 day waiting period)Employee Assistance ProgramSick and Vacation time (Flex time for salary positions, Accrued hours for Hourly positions), and Paid HolidaysBack-up childcare and parenting support resourcesVoluntary benefits to include: critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident insurance, theft & legal services, and pet insuranceWeight Loss and Tobacco Cessation ProgramsTesla Babies programCommuter benefitsEmployee discounts and perks programEarned Wage Access: Real-time pay access paid daily, subject to eligibility and schedule (applicable for below Sr.
