Autopilot Test Engineer

Overview

What to Expect

Rapid Full-Self-Driving (FSD) development relies heavily on our coordinated ability to test its progress across real-world driving scenarios including the most extreme edge cases. Vehicle-level tests enable the identification of critical safety & performance issues, ultimately opening the door for optimized design iterations and an enhanced driver / passenger experience altogether. This Autopilot Test Engineer will play a role in actualizing this reality. With the productionization of Robotaxi just around the corner, there has never been a more pivotal time to join this team.

This is a full-time position which requires someone who is highly organized, confident in their high-performance driving ability, objectively-focused when making judgements, and poised in managing dynamic projects amongst a fluid schedule. The role is based in Florida but also requires flexibility in traveling to various domestic & international destinations for vehicle testing on public roads, tracks, and proving grounds.

Responsibilities

• Generate new test strategies to evaluate Full Self Driving
• Perform controlled vehicle testing across global proving grounds using precision instrumentation, robotic platforms, and other test equipment
• Develop test fixtures and software tooling for efficient data collection, analysis, and reporting
• Use in-house simulation infrastructure to expand test coverage
• Analyze issues found during testing, partnering closely with developers on the Tesla AI and Vehicle Firmware teams to formulate judgement criteria, implement resolutions, and validate software changes
• Perform testing for existing and upcoming regulatory and ratings protocols, working with external agencies to make sure requirements are being satisfied
• Maintain test vehicles, coordinate logistics, perform repairs & retrofits, and support additional vehicle testing as needed
