Controls Firmware Engineer

Pentangle Tech Services | P5 Group

What to Expect

To ensure Tesla's overall mission of accelerating the world's transition to sustainable energy, the Tesla Energy team is bringing our world-leading battery technology to the grid. Tesla is leveraging its breakthrough firmware, electronics, test, and manufacturing capability to develop and deploy grid-connected storage at residential, industrial, and utility levels.

The Tesla Energy Residential Device Software team is looking for a Firmware Engineer to accelerate new market entries for our residential grid-tied products, Powerwall and Powershare . A grid-tied device must be a responsible citizen of the grid, maintaining an intricately timed balance of Voltage, Frequency, Power, and other parameters to ensure the health and stability of the grid.

The road is unpaved, and will require creativity and a deepening understanding of our systems, and grids around the world. For example, Powerwall has the highest market share of any residential battery system, and Powershare Grid Support is the first Vehicle-To-Grid (V2G) system at scale. Pragmatism, willingness to dive into new codebases and systems, eagerness to work with stakeholders, and engineering leadership are key strengths we expect you to bring to the table.

What You’ll Do

  • Collaborate with cross-discipline engineers (Firmware, Software, Compliance, Systems) to lead design across products and markets
  • Implement grid support control algorithms and integration tests (SiL, HiL) in software
  • Drive firmware development for performance, scalability, modularity, robustness, and tight integration with the hardware
  • Develop, enhance and debug new and existing real-time firmware in C and C++ in embedded RTOS environments

What You’ll Bring

  • Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or equivalent experience
  • Experience developing highly available mission-critical applications and corresponding test suites
  • Experience with embedded firmware development for real-time controls systems
  • Familiarity with grid and/or microgrid operation as well as safety and compliance standards (UL 1741, IEEE 1547, VDE4105, EN50549, G98/G99, etc.) for grid-tried power electronics is a plus
