## Description

Tesla's infotainment EE team is responsible for the electronic architecture, design, and development of multimedia computer use in vehicles and real-time AI compute platforms. We are seeking a detail-oriented, hands-on hardware engineer with a strong experience in electronic system, board-level bring-up, characterization, validation, system integration, failure analysis, and manufacturing support. In this role, you will work closely with cross-functional teams to develop, characterize, and delivery computers and peripheral units end-to-end in Tesla vehicles and AI infrastructure.
What You'll Do

 * Develop schematics and PCB layouts that meet functional, electrical, thermal, manufacturability, and firmware/software requirements
 * Lead board bring-up, characterization, and validation activities; troubleshoot and resolve issues
 * Perform thorough failure analysis on returned or failing units, identify root causes, and drive corrective actions
 * Create and maintain high-quality documentation including validation plans, test reports, and review materials
 * Collaborate with cross-functional teams to seamlessly integrate infotainment systems into the vehicles and AI infrastructure, considering the requirements of power, harness, inter-communication, EMC, thermal, reliability, and SW
 * Delivery infotainment hardware systems that may include multimedia computer, phone charger, power supplies, and other support circuitry from concept to production
