Staff Electrical Design Engineer, AI Compute

What to Expect Tesla's AI Compute electrical design team builds the system boards behind autonomous driving, humanoid robotics, and the data centers that train and serve our models. As Staff EE on this team, you will own the design of complex, high-speed motherboards built around Tesla's custom neural-engine silicon paired with leading x86 and Arm processors. Your work will power the next generation of Optimus humanoid robots - first deployed in robot academies, then scaling into the factories and homes where they will reshape how work gets done and how we live. What You'll Do Own hardware end-to-end: system architecture, electrical specification, SPICE simulation, schematics, prototype build, bring-up, and validation Translate open-ended electrical discussions into concrete circuit schematics Collaborate cross-functionally with silicon design, post-silicon, PCB layout, firmware, mechanical, signal and power integrity, thermal, reliability, EMC, and program management Author bring-up and validation plans, then verify every feature and interface across PVT corners Document electrical design requirements, calculations, and power budgets to a level that supports audit and reuse Design for manufacturability, testability, and EMC compliance What You'll Bring Degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or equivalent industry experience Demonstrated end-to-end PCBA design ownership with hands-on bring-up, FA, and system test 5+ years driving and maintaining schematics in Cadence Allegro System Capture or equivalent Complex motherboard experience with high-performance x86/Arm processors and/or custom silicon High-speed design experience with PCIe, MIPI, Ethernet, DisplayPort, or USB Solid analog and power fundamentals (MOSFETs, op-amps, switching regulators, gate drivers) High-power, high-efficiency voltage regulator design and analysis Experience shipping high-volume products from concept to mass production Proficient with bench tools - oscilloscopes, BERT, network analyzers, signal generators Comfortable iterating with mechanical, thermal, and EMC partners under tight, evolving constraints Compensation and Benefits Benefits Along with competitive pay, as a full-time Tesla employee, you are eligible for the following benefits at day 1 of hire: Medical plans > plan options with $0 payroll deduction Family-building, fertility, adoption and surrogacy benefits Dental (including orthodontic coverage) and vision plans, both have options with a $0 paycheck contribution Company Paid (Health Savings Accounts) HSA Contribution when enrolled in the High-Deductible medical plan with HSA Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) 401(k) with employer match, Employee Stock Purchase Plans, and other financial benefits Company paid Basic Life, AD&D Short-term and long-term disability insurance (90 day waiting period) Employee Assistance Program Sick and Vacation time (Flex time for salary positions, Accrued hours for Hourly positions), and Paid Holidays Back-up childcare and parenting support resources Voluntary benefits to include: critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident insurance, theft & legal services, and pet insurance Weight Loss and Tobacco Cessation Programs Tesla Babies program Commuter benefits Employee discounts and perks program Expected Compensation $100,000 - $354,000/annual salary + cash and stock awards + benefits Pay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The total compensation package for this position may also include other elements dependent on the position offered.
