Tesla is working on a private 5G infrastructure that will be connected to its Optimus electric cars and robots. This became known from a vacancy on LinkedIn - the company is looking for an engineer specializing in the integration of cellular systems.
Tesla is likely planning to deploy a private network at its manufacturing facility. If the company's products will be able to connect to private 5G networks, they will probably also be able to connect to public networks.
Previously, Tesla became one of the first automakers to equip their cars with Internet connectivity. This decision was based on several factors. First, the Internet connection allowed the software and functionality of cars to be updated over a wireless network, giving customers access to the latest improvements and new features.
Second, Tesla collected large volumes of data about the operation of cars, which was then used to improve quality and develop new technologies. Initially, Tesla used a 3G connection, and then switched to faster 4G LTE. Now it has become known that Tesla plans to update its cars by switching to the 5G network.
Pat Rülke, a lead engineer for Tesla Manufacturing IT Solutions, revealed the information in a job posting posted on LinkedIn. He wrote that he is looking for a top-notch engineer to build a seamless private 5G service between Tesla products and their private 5G infrastructure.
According to the job description, Tesla is looking for an experienced engineer to work on cellular systems integration in the global manufacturing IT solutions team. The primary focus of this role is to provide a leading connectivity experience for all Tesla vehicles and Optimus robots. To successfully complete the tasks, the engineer must study in detail the internal needs of the customers and develop test plans and procedures. This will help ensure a smooth deployment of eSIM modules and reliable integration into Tesla's private network infrastructure based on 5G technology.
