Electronic Design Engineer, High Speed Design & Validation

Tesla Motors, Inc.
100000 - 228000 USD
paid holidays, flex time, 401(k)
United States, California, Palo Alto
Oct 20, 2026
What to Expect
The Energy Electrical Engineering team designs the eyes, ears, and brains of Tesla's MegaPod, Vehicle charging & Optimus charging and residential/industrial energy storage products including Powerwall and Megapack. As a High-Speed Design & Validation Engineer, you will design and validate the next-generation compute, communication, and monitoring platforms that push the performance boundaries of energy compute electronics.

What You'll Do
  • Design and validate high-speed digital systems and PCBAs for energy products, including DDR3/4/5, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.x, PCIe, and other high-bandwidth interfaces

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical, firmware, EMC, general low-voltage EE, RF, design validation, thermal, compliance, reliability, and manufacturing test engineers

  • Perform signal integrity analysis and validation to ensure robust high-speed design margins

  • Support end-to-end hardware design from schematic capture and component selection through layout review, bring-up, validation and production release


What You'll Bring
  • Degree in Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience with high-speed digital design and validation

  • Hands-on debug experience with high-speed lab equipment: high-bandwidth oscilloscopes (>4 GHz), TDR/TDT, VNAs, BERTs, protocol analyzers is a plus

  • Experience working across general Low-voltage EE, RF, firmware, FPGA, layout, test, and manufacturing teams

  • Experience in selecting and interfacing SoCs, FPGAs, DDR memory, Ethernet PHYs, and high-speed transceivers is a plus

  • Experience in PCB stack-up design, controlled impedance routing, layer assignment, via stitching, and plane partitioning for multi-Gbps signaling is a plus

  • Understanding of signal integrity fundamentals: transmission line theory, impedance matching, termination strategies, jitter, crosstalk, return loss

  • Experience in designing or validating one of the high-speed digital circuits with at least one of DDR3/4/5, PCIe, USB 3.x, Gigabit Ethernet, LVDS, or similar
