Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) is actively recruiting AI chip designers in South Korea, according to a recent announcement on Thursday.
Tesla’s Ambitious Chip Making Target
The recruitment drive in South Korea aligns with the company’s vision to lead in AI chip production, a critical component for its electric vehicles and other technological advancements.
“This project aims to develop AI chip architecture that will achieve the highest production volume in the world in the future,” the company said in a post on X, as translated from Korean to English.
How To Apply?
The company said that it is seeking talented individuals to join in developing the world’s highest-level mass-produced AI chips. The position is for an AI Chip Design Engineer, and interested people can send in their applications to Ai_Chips at tesla dot com.
Tesla has also asked applicants to mention in the mail the three most challenging technical problems they have solved so far.
Tesla’s Chip Production Expansion
This is part of a broader strategy by Tesla to expand its custom chip production capabilities. Recently, the company has been hiring silicon module process engineers in locations like Austin and Palo Alto, covering various chip manufacturing disciplines such as lithography and etching.
Tesla has also made significant moves in the global market, including a hiring push in India to launch its vehicles, as confirmed by an engineer in February 2025. This expansion into South Korea is another step in Tesla’s global strategy to tap into diverse talent pools and technological expertise.
The Elon Musk-led company has also committed to investing approximately $2 billion into xAI, as part of a Series E funding round.
