Job description

Tesla's AI Hardware team is seeking a highly motivated ASIC RTL Design Engineer specializing in custom AI accelerators. The role focuses on designing high-performance, power-efficient RTL for math-intensive components that support AI training and inference systems, emphasizing expertise in tensor operations and optimized data paths.

Requirements

  • Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience
  • 10+ years of DFT DV experience at block and SoC level
  • Expert-level SystemVerilog and UVM testbench development
  • Hands-on verification of SSN, compressed scan, MBIST, JTAG, and boundary scan
  • Experience delivering pre-Si testcases through silicon bring-up and ATE correlation
  • Ability to use agentic AI flows to automate DV regression and debug workflows
  • Post-silicon debug and ATE correlation experience on server-class SoCs
  • Familiarity with formal verification methods for DFT structural checks
  • Experience with power-on self-test and clock control verification

Responsibilities

  • Develop SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches to verify DFT features — SSN, compressed scan, memory BIST, JTAG, and boundary scan at block and SoC level
  • Verify top-level DFT features — power-on self-test, clock observation, clock stop, and scan dump
  • Run DV regressions, analyze coverage, triage and debug failures to closure
  • Identify design fixes and validate DFT RTL corrections
  • Deliver pre-Si DV testcases for silicon bring-up and ATE correlation
  • Own post-silicon ATE test correlation — root cause discrepancies between pre-Si and silicon behavior
  • Leverage agentic AI flows to automate regression execution, coverage analysis, and failure triage

Benefits

  • Employees at Tesla are often offered day-one coverage with multiple medical options (some at $0 paycheck cost), dental/vision, company HSA contributions, a 401(k) match, and equity programs. Most roles also include paid time off and holidays, family-building support, employee assistance, commuter and childcare benefits, and access to discounts and wellness programs.
