Job description

What To Expect
We are looking for a highly motivated individual to help accelerate our vehicle-level testing. The Autopilot Test Specialist role is highly hands-on, working closely with engineers and technicians to evaluate system performance and identify areas for improvement. This is a full-time position that requires someone who is highly organized, confident in their high-performance driving abilities, has strong technical aptitude, and can manage projects on a fluid schedule.

This role is based in Tarragona, Spain, but also requires flexibility to travel (up to 40%) to various domestic and international locations as needed, to test vehicles on public roads and proving grounds.

Note: We require an English version of your CV to be submitted with your application.

What You'll Do- Safely conduct vehicle-level testing of our Autopilot system by analyzing data, triaging software issues, and troubleshooting abnormal vehicle behaviors using Tesla’s proprietary in-house software tools.

  • Communicate test results with engineers and remain on-call for clarification when necessary.
  • Support the design and fabrication of vehicle engineering tools.
  • Assist technicians with vehicle preparation by installing relevant test equipment.
  • Maintain and document the condition of test vehicles and coordinate repairs or retrofits as necessary.
  • Maintain confidentiality regarding prototype hardware and software, unreleased vehicle programs, and all other internal Tesla information.
  • Support any additional vehicle engineering testing as required.
    What You'll Bring- Comfortable with repetitive vehicle manoeuvres.
  • Basic mechanical skills and familiarity with hand tools and an aptitude for software skills.
  • Familiarity with ADAS/Autopilot systems and their sensors.
  • Fundamental knowledge of UNECE regulations (active safety) is a plus.
  • Basic knowledge of fundamental vehicle systems and how they work.
  • Comfortable driving engineering vehicles which may contain prototype software and hardware.
  • Experience with safely driving trailers with heavy loads.
  • Excellent attention to detail and high situational awareness.
  • Ability to multi-task, organize, and work in an extremely fast-paced environment.
  • Very good English communication skills.
  • Must be comfortable driving prototype vehicles that may lack standard safety features, and must hold a valid EU driver’s license with a clean driving record.
