FPGA Engineer, Vehicle Software

$140k - $252k

Full-time

Tesla

What To Expect
Tesla's Vehicle Software team is building out its Processor in the Loop (PIL) test infrastructure — a rack-based cluster that validates ECU firmware by running it on real processors while emulating surrounding vehicle hardware in real time. PIL serves as a force multiplier: By abstracting away specific board designs, we test firmware for a variety of components on common hardware as long as they share a microprocessor. PIL also enables firmware teams to get ahead of hardware development, providing an advanced dev-kit environment before physical boards are fabricated. This approach ensures the sim-to-reality gap remains marginal as our vehicles take on increasingly complex, software-driven responsibilities.
What You'll Do
Design, implement, and verify RTL (Verilog/SystemVerilog) targeting Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ SOM platforms Develop FPGA-based peripheral emulation cores for automotive protocols including SPI, I2C, CAN, SENT, and LIN Build stimulus generation and output capture logic to exercise and observe real processors under test Integrate FPGA emulation boards into the PIL rack cluster, supporting a range of processor targets used across Vehicle Software Collaborate cross-functionally with hardware teams designing the physical boards being emulated and the emulation hardware, and with firmware teams writing the code under test Bring up, debug, and characterize FPGA designs on hardware using tools such as Vivado, ILA, and bench instrumentation
What You'll Bring
Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience Proficiency in RTL design (VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog) Experience with Xilinx FPGA toolchains (Vivado synthesis, implementation, and debug) Strong working knowledge of low-level communication protocols: SPI, I2C, CAN, SENT, LIN Comfort reading schematics and debugging at the hardware/firmware boundary Excellent verbal and written communication skills to coordinate with the team Experience developing real-time mathematical models of physical systems (e.g., motor dynamics, power stage behavior, thermal models) for hardware emulation or HIL applications a plus Familiarity with processor-in-the-loop, hardware-in-the-loop, or similar test methodologies a plus Familiarity with Python test frameworks and the ability to read and understand embedded C firmware code a plus
