What to Expect
Tesla builds fleet management and robot control software that orchestrates autonomous robots and automation systems - including AMRs, ASRS and conveyance systems - across global manufacturing and warehouse facilities. The platform integrates with robots, industrial equipment, and internal MES systems to coordinate material flow end-to-end. These systems are production-critical and directlyimpactfactory throughput, uptime, and scalability.
We are seeking a Software Engineer to join the Fleet Management team. The Fleet Management domain handles job scheduling, vehicle routing, traffic management, conflict resolution, and fleet coordination at scale - a distributed, event-driven system spanning microservices, real-time messaging, and edge computing. This is a full stack role with a strong backend emphasis - you will spend the majority of your time on scheduling, routing, and orchestration algorithms in Go, while also exploring AI-driven approaches to optimization, contributing to frontend tooling, and occasionally stepping into robotics controls work alongside the firmware team.
You will work within a small, focused team alongside a Staff-level domainleadand experienced engineers. You will receive mentorship on algorithm design and systems architecture while being expected to take ownership of meaningful features from day one.
This position is based in Austin, TX (onsite).
What You'll Do
Implement and improve job scheduling, vehicle routing, traffic management, and fleet orchestration algorithms in Go - including task assignment, path planning, conflict resolution, dynamic replanning, and resource allocation
Explore and apply AI and ML techniques to improve scheduling, routing, anomaly detection, and operational decision-making
Design and improve observability: metrics, logging, tracing, and dashboards that make fleet behavior transparent anddebuggable
What You'll Bring
Deep interest or experience in robotics, multi-agent systems, fleet management,logisticsoptimization, or operations research - you can reason about graph algorithms, optimization problems, and state machines
Strongproficiencyin Go; working familiarity with the broader stack:GraphQL,gRPC, NATS or Kafka, SQL (MySQL), Docker, and Kubernetes
Comfortable working with distributed systems concepts: real-time messaging, event-driven architectures, state management, and eventual consistency
Experience building user-facing features, SRE practices, CI/CD pipelines, or infrastructure automation is a plus - the team owns its full stack and build tooling end-to-end
Experience with fleet management, warehouse automation, industrial automation systems, robotics controls, or hardware-software integration is a plus
