The Role:
Tesla is a leader in Autopilot technology and we’re building the
world's best in-car navigation experience. These two fields overlap in the role
of Maps Engineer. We're looking for motivated software engineers that are up to
the challenge.
You will implement next generation algorithms on top of large
amounts of data from the Tesla fleet. This is a cornerstone on which Navigate
on Autopilot and Smart Summon are implemented. In addition, the same data will
drive more efficient routing and better turn-by-turn navigation for customers.
The ideal candidate is self-driven, has experience developing
high-performance applications and motivated by complex algorithmic problems.
Our engineers must bring a principled, data-driven methodology to software
development with a passion for improving quality of their products. Flexibility
is paramount, as the engineer must learn a wide array of technologies to
improve customer experience ranging from route quality and ETA prediction all
the way to self-driving capabilities.
Responsibilities:
·
Rapidly prototype in-car customer experiences
·
Extract meaningful data from fleet telemetry via automated
processes
·
Implement complete features with both client and server
footprint
·
Drive your changes end to end from concept to in car drive test
·
Design, code, and debug software on Linux-based embedded
platforms and Linux servers
·
Work with a cross-functional team of hardware engineers,
application/UI software engineers, and designers
Requirements:
·
BS/MS in Computer Science, Information Systems, Electrical
Engineering or the equivalent in experience
·
Evidence of exceptional achievement in academia or industry
· Fluency in Japanese and English
· Proficient in one of C++, Python
·
Experience writing and shipping customer-facing code
·
High standards for code quality, maintainability, and
performance
· Experience with Maps / GIS / Computational Geometry data is a strong plus
·
Willingness to learn new technologies in any area of the stack:
Vehicle Control, Routing/Guidance Algorithms, Server Infrastructure, UI,
Embedded Systems
