The job ad indicates that Tesla is in urgent need of a low-voltage electrical engineer in Shanghai. This role is part of Tesla's autonomous driving vehicle team and is specifically tailored for the 'Robotaxi' initiative. The main duties of this position involve the complete hardware development process for the core circuit board of autonomous driving vehicles. This encompasses architectural planning, simulation, schematic creation, layout oversight, manufacturing, debugging, and validation. Candidates must possess experience in mass-producing circuit boards and have a grasp of redundancy design essential for autonomous driving vehicles. While Tesla hasn't officially unveiled concrete deployment strategies for Robotaxi in China, this hiring move is perceived as a strong indicator of the company's commitment to pushing forward with autonomous taxi services in the nation.
