The team is also currently responsible for monitoring of the production environment. End users of the platform need highly performant and reliable tools to collaborate on design of Tesla's products. Software operations involving large CAD assemblies are resource-intensive and our tools must keep up with our engineer's imaginations.

  • Validate that delivered solutions solve intended business objectives by applying predefined measures
  • Coordinate release of software, including release notes, documentation, training, and internal marketing, in the context of platform operations
