Staff Antenna Design Engineer, Passive Entry & ...

What to Expect Connectivity is an integral part of all Tesla cars. It enhances the driving experience by providing access to features that require wireless data usage. Antenna Team at Tesla is seeking a Staff Antenna Design Engineer to support antenna product development activities that cover a significant portion of the radio frequency spectrum from 100s of kHz to 10s of GHz. The successful candidate will utilize the knowledge of current systems, available technologies, and engineering judgment to propose and design next generation antenna systems for Robotics, Infotainment, Low Voltage and Autopilot features. An exceptional antenna engineer should have a strong Electromagnetics background and apply first principles-based approach for the design, integration, test, and production of custom antenna solutions in a fast-paced product development environment. The ideal candidate should have strong hands‑on work experience with current 3D antenna simulation tools, system‑level RF front‑end architectures, multi‑radio co‑existence, RF de‑sense assessment and optimization, and RF link budget calculations. He/she will work closely with cross‑functional teams and support other engineering teams to achieve quality and schedule targets. This engineer must thrive in a start‑up company environment with great opportunities for growth and spectacular achievement.What You'll DoDesign, simulation, development, integration, and test of highly integrated custom antenna solutionsComponent and platform level 3D EM antenna/EM simulationsMulti-radio co-existence performance and link budget analysis per radioRF de-sense optimization with schematics, PCBA, and antenna integration with close-by componentsSimulation and prototyping of passive and active antenna topologies using a representative platformOTA and/or systems level measurements to support LTE MIMO, Wi‑Fi MIMO, BT and UWB antenna developmentLead with suppliers on the design, testing and mass production of new antenna solutionsWork with mechanical, RF, EMC, electrical, harness, material, reliability, vehicle/robot integration, and production engineers to create best‑in‑class integrated custom antenna solutionsProvide antenna team input to the project and factory teams on schedules, issues, and deliverablesCommunicate engineering requirements to program and supply chain managers to facilitate planning and scheduleWhat You'll BringDegree in Electrical Engineering with a specialization in Electromagnetics or equivalent experience7+ years of solid technical depth in advanced Electromagnetics and AntennasSolid technical depth in advanced Electromagnetics and AntennasFluent with 3D EM simulation tools and coding skills to support antenna design and post‑processingA track record of successfully bringing 5G, Wi‑Fi, UWB, and Bluetooth integrated antenna designs to marketHands on experience conducting OTA measurements for LTE, Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth and UWB including carrier certificationExperienced in creating schematics and PCB layouts using Altium or similar toolsStrong product development experience in handling de‑sense due to platform noise and co‑existence between radiosSeamless communication with cross functional team‑members from multiple disciplines to reach fact‑based decisionsExcellent data analysis, detailed report writing, presentation skills, and desire to work in fast paced environmentCompensation and Benefits Benefits Along with competitive pay, as a full‑time Tesla employee, you are eligible for the following benefits at day 1 of hire:Medical plans > plan options with $0 payroll deductionFamily‑building, fertility, adoption and surrogacy benefitsDental (including orthodontic coverage) and vision plans, both have options with a $0 paycheck contributionCompany Paid (Health Savings Accounts) HSA Contribution when enrolled in the High‑Deductible medical plan with HSAHealthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)401(k) with employer match, Employee Stock Purchase Plans, and other financial benefitsCompany paid Basic Life, AD&DShort‑term and long‑term disability insurance (90 day waiting period)Employee Assistance ProgramSick and Vacation time (Flex time for salary positions, Accrued hours for Hourly positions), and Paid HolidaysBack‑up childcare and parenting support resourcesVoluntary benefits to include: critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident insurance, theft & legal services, and pet insuranceWeight Loss and Tobacco Cessation ProgramsTesla Babies programCommuter benefitsEmployee discounts and perks programExpected Compensation $124,000 - $240,000/annual salary + cash and stock awards + benefitsPay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job‑related knowledge, skills, and experience.
