What they need


What To Expect The Tesla Energy Residential Device Software team is looking for a Software Engineer to build control and configuration software for residential energy products such as Powerwall, Solar Inverter, or Wall Connector. These products resemble other, more familiar IoT products in many ways: They need to be installed, configured, and diagnosed. Once operational, they need to run autonomously, respond to commands, and provide customers with useful telemetry. All of this requires control and configuration tools that are reliable and resilient, which is where you come in. With your help, we can make installing more renewable energy technology easier, faster, and cheaper.

Our software stack is as diverse as our products. It includes embedded and Linux-based systems, web and native apps, cloud services and local IoT protocols. Pragmatism, willingness to dive into new codebases, eagerness to work with stakeholders, and engineering leadership are key strengths we expect you to bring to the table.
