About the Job

Requirements

A degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
15+ years of experience in DRAM architecture, memory systems, or advanced semiconductor builds.
Experience turning system or customer requirements into architectural or silicon-level decisions that ship.
Experience working across silicon, packaging, systems, and platforms, not inside one of those boxes.
Experience using AI, large language models, or machine learning tools to get work done, not as a side experiment.

Responsibilities

Define and evolve DRAM system architectures for performance, capacity scaling, reliability, and observability.
Make trade-offs across DRAM silicon, packaging, modules, boards, and the system the memory sits in.
Influence host memory-controller and platform architecture with the CPU, GPU, and system-on-chip teams that consume the memory.
Turn system reliability, availability, and serviceability and telemetry needs into buildable features.
Evaluate emerging memory technologies and determine their effect on the product roadmap.
Work with internal teams and partners so architectural direction is clear before design is locked.
Keep the architecture consistent across teams and mentor the engineers who implement it.
Use AI tools in day-to-day work to accelerate specification review, trade-off analysis, and documentation.

Category	Terafab
Location	Austin, Texas
Requisition ID	287520
Type	Full-time

Job Description

<p>We are building Terafab, a vertically integrated semiconductor factory at an unprecedented scale. The facility houses logic, memory, packaging, test, and lithography mask production under one roof, optimized for rapid iteration and maximum compute density per square foot. </p><p>This role owns DRAM system architecture for those products. You will set the silicon, package, module, and host-interface choices that the design, product, and platform teams have to build. Near-term execution and the next memory generation are both yours. </p>

Job Responsibilities

Define and evolve DRAM system architectures for performance, capacity scaling, reliability (RAS), and observability
Make the trade-offs across DRAM silicon, packaging, modules, boards, and the system the memory sits in
Influence host memory-controller and platform architecture with the CPU, GPU, and SoC teams that consume the memory
Turn system RAS and telemetry needs into features that can actually be built
Evaluate emerging memory technologies and say what they do, and do not do, to the product roadmap
Work with internal teams and partners so architectural direction is clear before design is locked
Keep the architecture consistent across teams and mentor the engineers who have to implement it
Use AI tools in the day-to-day work. Spec review, trade-off analysis, and documentation should move faster because of them

About the Company

Tesla

Makes electric cars, robotaxis and grid batteries

Tesla makes electric cars and batteries that store power for homes and utilities, and it develops self-driving software and humanoid robots. In 2023, its Model Y became the first electric vehicle to rank as the world's best-selling car. Buyers order the Model 3 sedan, Model Y SUV, or Cybertruck pickup directly from Tesla instead of through dealers, and they charge on its Supercharger fast-charging network. It also sells Megapack and Powerwall batteries, runs a robotaxi service, and charges drivers a monthly fee for self-driving software that still needs their supervision. Tesla was founded in 2003, with Elon Musk as its lead early investor and a recognized co-founder, and it is based in Austin, Texas.
