Staff Frontend Engineer, Vehicle UI

The Tesla Design team is responsible for the user interface of all vehicles, energy products, and apps. As a Staff Frontend Engineer on the Design team, you will work closely with both the Design and Engineering teams to bring design concepts to life in all of our products. You will develop UI components that will be reused throughout the entire UI ecosystem and help shape the future of Tesla's user interfaces. You will help develop new features in a variety of exciting areas of our UI including Autopilot, navigation, entertainment, games, and more.

You will apply your knowledge of UI design and software engineering to develop new user interfaces and interaction models in HTML/CSS, JavaScript, React, and Svelte. You'll create and make decisions that implement a design language consistent throughout the Tesla UI platform (in-car, mobile, etc.). Acting as a bridge between design and development, you'll ensure the visual and interaction quality of the product.

Your responsibilities will include analyzing and interpreting recommendations from other business groups to prioritize functions and develop project roadmaps with project managers. You'll collaborate with UX/UI designers, software engineers, and product managers to design and implement features that improve the user experience. Additionally, you'll optimize web applications for maximum speed and scalability.

The ideal candidate will have deep experience in interaction prototyping for different form factors and interfaces, proficiency in multiple programming languages and frameworks (such as JavaScript/HTML/CSS, WebGL (Three.JS), React, Svelte, or UIML), and expert knowledge of component-based frameworks like SvelteJS, ReactJS, or AngularJS. Experience shipping products to millions of users and building foundational layout and typographic systems is required. Experience developing for real-time 3D with ThreeJS or game engines like Godot, Unity, and Unreal Engine is a bonus.

Tesla offers competitive pay and a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision plans, 401(k) with employer match, stock purchase plans, and various other financial and wellness benefits. The expected annual salary range for this position is $106,400 - $222,300, plus cash and stock awards.
