The Role
Tesla’s Autopilot Telemetry team is charged with collecting and processing all the data that fuels autopilot development. Every Tesla on the road includes a sophisticated sensor suite and internet connectivity. This allows us to gather data from our fleet of over 1 million vehicles around the world, providing Tesla with a significant competitive advantage in the race to full autonomy. The Autopilot 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.
Responsibilities

• 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
• Contribute to other parts of the Autopilot software stack, including driving and control algorithms

Requirements

• Experience programming C/C++ software, including modern C/C++ (C++11/14/17/20) and multithreading
• Strong Linux fundamentals
• Experience with efficient networking and disk I/O
• Excellent problem solving, critical thinking, and communication skills

• Contributions to involvement with open source projects is a plus
• Experience with RTOS or bare-metal embedded development is a plus
