About the role
The Tesla AI Hardware team designs advanced AI inference chips and the Dojo supercomputer, with work powering Full Self-Driving and Optimus. This role owns timing signoff from block-level through full-chip tapeout, including die-to-die interfaces across TSV-based 3D stacks. It focuses on STA, timing closure, constraints, and AI-agent automation for advanced SoC design at 3nm and below.
What you will do
- Drive full-chip and block-level STA across all PVT corners and modes (MMMC)
- Own timing closure — identify and resolve setup/hold violations, clock skew, crosstalk, IR drop, and process variation impacts
- Develop, maintain, and validate timing constraints for complex SoC/ASIC designs
- Lead signoff timing analysis using industry-standard EDA tools
- Execute and support ECO implementation for timing fixes through tapeout
- Perform timing analysis for 3D IC architectures across TSV interconnects — model parasitics (RC delay, coupling), validate cross-die clock distribution, and address latency and synchronization across dies
- Analyze thermal and voltage impacts on TSV timing paths
- Validate timing across interposer and multi-die communication paths (DDR, PCIe, SerDes)
- Leverage AI agents to automate timing debug, constraint validation, and signoff workflows
Skills used in this role
What the employer is looking for
- Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field, or equivalent work experience
- 7+ years in STA and timing signoff
- Deep expertise in timing fundamentals: setup/hold, skew, jitter, latency, MMMC methodology
- Hands-on experience with industry STA signoff tools
- Experience at advanced nodes (5nm and below)
- Ability to use AI agents to automate and accelerate timing analysis workflows
Benefits and support
- Compensation and benefits are detailed in the job posting
