Job Description

The Self-Driving Hardware team is responsible for designing the computing hardware that delivers the autonomous driving capability of Tesla vehicles and humanoid robots, as well as computing infrastructure for data center. We design the complex high speed boards with Tesla customized neural engine silicon, to deliver inferencing performance while meeting efficiency, cost, reliability goals. In SI inference data center, the computer can run large-scale neural network workload in scale-up and scale-out clusters.

Job Responsibilities

Hardware ownership including specification, architecture, design, simulation, schematics, layout supervision, prototype, and validation
Design of electrical architecture, electronic circuits, processor selection and integration, system timing, and bus loading
Collaborate with PCB layout, firmware, reliability, program management, mechanical, and EMC teams
Thoroughly document design requirements, calculations, power budgets, etc.
Create validation plans and verify all the features and interfaces across corners
Design for manufacturing, design for test and design for EMC

Job Requirements

Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience
2+ years of relevant circuit board design experience
Demonstrated depth in end-to-end PCBA design
Strong in high speed board design(>5Gbps) and knowledge of interfaces (DDR, PCIe, MIPI, Ethernet, etc.)
Experience in high performance processor, memory, storage, network IO based for complex mother board design
Good understanding of analog and power circuits (MOSFETs, op-amps, switching regulators, gate drivers, etc.)
Proficiency with EE tools (oscilloscopes, BERT, network analyzers, signal generators, etc.)
Experience shipping high-volume electronics products
Understanding on neural network and transformer AI model is not required but would be a bonus point

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.
