Tesla Recruits AI Chip Design Engineers in Korea—Musk Personally Calls for Talent

Tesla is expanding its talent recruitment efforts in South Korea, with a focus on hiring AI chip design engineers. The company's Tesla AI team recently posted a job listing explicitly seeking local Korean talent with experience in chip design, manufacturing, or AI software development. Tesla CEO Elon Musk subsequently shared the announcement and publicly urged, "If you're in Korea and want to work on chip design, manufacturing, or AI software, join Tesla." This move underscores Tesla's accelerated push to bolster its in-house AI chip capabilities and signals its intent to deepen investment in Asia's tech talent market.
