What You’ll Do What You’ll Bring
- The DOJO/Autopilot Physical Design team specializes in block-level implementation using industry-standard EDA tools. As an intern, you will contribute to implementing SOCs and related IPs from synthesis through tapeout. You will have the opportunity to enhance result quality and streamline workflows by developing designs in TCL, Perl, and/or Python.
- The DOJO System Hardware Design Team design complex, high-speed boards that deliver computer performance, while delivering high power to the overall system. On this team you will design SOC/Chipset components and peripherals (eMMC, flash, DDR, as well as interfaces such as I2C, UART, and SPI). You will provide power projection of end-to-end use cases for future projects and establish power targets for the end-to-end system as well as SoC cores. Be prepared to use basic programming to create and execute test plans.
- The Autopilot Silicon and Systems Validation team focuses on validating Pre and Post Silicon phases of the Autopilot Silicon and System that includes the SoC, PCBA, Firmware and Platform. They work closely with the Autopilot Firmware and the Autopilot Application Software teams to build confidence in the overall HW/SW platform that runs in the cars. This team builds validation test infrastructures that are capable of launching a variety of synthetic and use-case based tests in order to catch any hardware or firmware defects prior to production.
- The Autopilot Silicon and System Design team is responsible for designing and productizing silicon chips, ASICs, and the overall system for Tesla Autopilot. This team architects, designs, and verifies the entire system. This team is responsible for writing firmware and software drivers to communicate with the system. They are looking for interns with strong electrical engineering fundamentals, understanding of hardware-software concepts, and familiarity with PCBA design. Schematic entry and simulation, lab skills, and scripting are a must. Experience in mixed signal design, high speed signaling, or power supply design is preferred.
- Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
Knowledge of PCB manufacturing technologies, and DFM. Engage with PCB/PCBA vendors for a successful PCB fabrication/assembly
Knowledge of system level aspects of low power and high-power design and the ability to model and analyze power at system and core level
Familiarity with Embedded board bring-up
- Strong comfort in C, C++, Python, and/or Linux OS Scripting
- Understanding fundamentals of real-time operating system (RTOS) principles
- Experience in design, verification or validation disciplines, system/platform level debug and root cause isolation, methodology and tools
These jobs might be a good fit
