Job Description

Tesla’s mission is to accelerate the world’s transition to renewable energy, and we need your help! Our work is more than a mission statement to us; it’s something we are passionate about. We are the engineers behind the world's largest fleet of smart energy storage systems.

We are seeking a talented, motivated, and independent engineer to join the team that works on the heart and soul of Tesla’s Energy products and Virtual Power Plant (VPP). The Software Engineering team writes the application for the Tesla Site Controller and Powerwall’s Gateway Controller. This application is responsible for managing all the devices on a customer site, including the solar, batteries, generators, vehicle chargers, power meters, and more. It also handles communication with the Tesla cloud and provides data used by the customer-facing mobile apps.

We deliver exciting features that enable customers to do things like participating in VPP programs, take their house off the electrical grid, charge a vehicle with solar energy, or even power entire communities using renewable energy. This engineer will collaborate closely with various stakeholders to identify and build software and applications to meet the product and local regional requirements.

The Site Manager app and its libraries are all written in Golang and run on an embedded Linux machine. An ideal candidate will have a strong grasp of multi-threaded programming concepts, an understanding of Linux systems, a familiarity with object-oriented design and principles, and an eagerness to keep learning in an ever-evolving environment.
