Tesla · Palo Alto, CA, United States
Skills: TypeScript, Python, Docker
What to Expect
Tesla's External Aerodynamics team is standing up an in-house wind tunnel, and every campaign's results need to sit next to CFD so engineers can compare, correlate, and iterate. Design Technology, which is part of Vehicle Engineering, builds the internal tools that thousands of engineers use every day. As a software engineer on Simulation Technology, you will own the software that brings wind tunnel and simulation data into one platform.
What You'll Do
Design systems to consume wind tunnel campaign data from the tunnel's acquisition systems into a searchable archive alongside CFD Build tunnel-to-CFD comparison and correlation so aerodynamics engineers see both side by side Build orchestration pipelines that aerodynamics engineers can configure for each tunnel site without a code change per site Extend analysis tools so tunnel and simulation data feed the same workflows Work directly with aerodynamics engineers and tunnel operators, from problem through production Own what you ship: on-call, incidents, and written design docs
What You'll Bring
Software engineering fundamentals: data modeling, APIs (REST or gRPC), and at least one database Fluency in common front-end and backend languages such as Python, TypeScript, Go Data pipelines for large experimental or time-series datasets: ingest, validation, storage Daily use of coding agents (Cursor, Claude Code, or equivalent) to ship real features Turning a non-software engineer's workflow into a system they trust Preferred: test or experimental data, CFD or HPC workflows, aerodynamics Preferred: Docker and Kubernetes
Benefits
Along with competitive pay, as a full-time Tesla employee, you are eligible for the following benefits at day 1 of hire:
Medical plans > plan options with $0 payroll deduction Family-building, fertility, adoption and surrogacy benefits Dental (including orthodontic coverage) and vision plans, both have options with a $0 paycheck contribution Company Paid (Health Savings Accounts) HSA Contribut…
