Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk is hiring and will be personally involved in the process.

Musk has taken to Twitter to detail the engineering positions: The hires will work in Tesla’s (TSLA) autonomous vehicle division and, more specifically, on its autopilot software, TechCrunch reported.

In a series of tweets, Musk said he wants his vehicles to “achieve generalized full autonomy” and sent an email address for resumes.

“We are looking for hardcore software engineers,” he said. “No prior experience with cars required. Please include code sample or link to your work.”

“This is a super high priority,” Musk said after stating he will be personally involved in the hiring process.

Here are his tweets:

Should mention that I will be interviewing people personally and Autopilot reports directly to me. This is a super high priority.

On Friday, Tesla recalled 90,000 of its Model S sedans over concerns with the vehicles’ seat belts.
