Tesla's AI Hardware team is seeking a highly motivated ASIC RTL Design Engineer to design high-performance, power-efficient RTL for AI accelerators. The role focuses on tensor operations, matrix computations, and optimized data paths for advanced AI workloads, contributing to Tesla's innovative AI hardware solutions.

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience
• 10+ years of DFT architecture and RTL insertion experience on complex SoCs
• Expert-level proficiency with Siemens Tessent suite (Shell, TestKompress, MemoryBIST)
• Deep expertise in ISTC, SSN, OCC, compression logic, and memory BIST architectures
• Strong command of IEEE 1149.1/1149.6, 1500, and 1687 — BSDL, ICL, and PDL
• Hands-on CDC/RDC analysis using SpyGlass, JasperGold, or Questa CDC
• Ability to use agentic AI flows to scale DFT insertion and validation workflows

• Define and implement full DFT architecture for complex SoC designs — ISTC, IJTAG, scan, MBIST, BISR, and JTAG boundary scan (IEEE 1149.1 / 1149.6)
• Drive RTL insertion and integration of Tessent-based DFT structures — ISTC, SSN, OCC, compression logic, and memory BIST
• Understanding and familiarity of hybrid bond testing
• Perform CDC/RDC checks using SpyGlass, JasperGold, or Questa CDC — identify and resolve clock and reset domain crossing violations
• Execute static verification flows — LINT checks, coding standard compliance, and design rule verification to ensure RTL quality and synthesizability
• Own JTAG/1500/1687 network architecture — implement BSDL, ICL, and PDL specifications
• Define and resolve DFT rule violations to ensure DFT-friendly RTL across the design
• Leverage agentic AI flows to automate DFT rule checking, RTL insertion validation, and coverage analysis

• 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.
