Advice for Tesla "Evidence of Excellence"
Hi everyone,
After a long interview process, I’m happy to share that I just received a verbal and written offer for a Controls Engineering position with the Optimus team in Fremont.
The recruiter mentioned that the final step is submitting an "Evidence of Excellence"document by next Friday, so I need to describe three major projects I have led, focusing on technical solutions and measurable impact.
Since this is for a robotics-focused role, I want to make sure my examples are aligned with what they expect, does anyone have experience with the "Evidence of Excellence" process for Tesla? Specifically, I'm looking for advice on the level of technical detail or the types of KPIs they value most in these write-ups.
Any advice or examples would be very helpful, thanks!
