Tesla Motors, Inc.
Sr. Electrical Engineer, Self-Driving & AI Hardware
Tesla Motors, Inc., Palo Alto, California, United States, 94306
What to Expect
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 AI inference data center, the computer can run large-scale neural network workload in scale-up and scale-out clusters.
What You'll Do
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
What You'll Bring
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
