Tesla has launched a recruitment drive in Shanghai for engineers to test its intelligent driving systems, a move widely seen as preparation for introducing Full Self-Driving (FSD) to the Chinese market. The job posting, published on February 13, requires candidates to be proficient in Python, C/C++, and MATLAB, with skills in diagnosing software and hardware failures, plus experience in ADAS, road testing, or DAS system development. The engineer will oversee prototype vehicles, conducting tests on proving grounds and public roads, including trips across China and internationally.Tesla lists additional advantages for candidates, such as experience in microcontroller development and a passion for motorsports. The work base is in the Lingang area, home to the company's Gigafactory.Experts point out that after Tesla received its first permit for autonomous system road testing in China in 2024, the company has moved to a practical implementation phase. Social media users believe this hiring push is a clear signal that Tesla is preparing FSD for local certification and adaptation to China's road infrastructure.This step makes strategic sense: China is the largest electric vehicle market, and rolling out a full FSD system could significantly bolster Tesla's position amid growing competition from BYD, Huawei, and other local players.
