Project Engineer, Autopilot - Stanford, United States - Tesla

Description

**Project Engineer, Autopilot**

????Engineering & Information Technology????Palo Alto, California?? ID103040????Full-time **The Role**:

The Autopilot Programs team is responsible for scoping, prioritizing, tracking, and releasing Autopilot features from inception to launch. Past features the team has launched include Navigate on Autopilot, Smart Summon, Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control, Radar Removal and more than a dozen active safety features. Next, we are working towards full-self-driving functionality on city streets.

As an Autopilot Project Engineer you will partner with all Autopilot teams to deliver on large, cross-functional projects. This means working across the entire stack including: AI, perception planning and control, manual and auto-labeling, infrastructure, data analysis, simulation, quality assurance and much more. You will be responsible for owning new features, from inception to launch. This requires working with multidisciplinary teams to solve problems, fight fires, track progress, and ultimately update millions of customer cars with new safety critical software. We believe an autonomous future is a safer future, so success means shipping excellent, well validated features with a sense of urgency.

On Autopilot, every team member is expected to have a strong technical foundation in order to develop sound products. We expect you to be hands-on, examining the performance of your feature, digging into code, joining engineers on test drives and actioning user feedback.

Understand the artificial intelligence and engineering stack in depth

Design validation strategies for new features so we can measure that they are safe to release

Build tools that help measure objective progress during feature development
