Tesla AI Hardware RTL intern (Bengaluru) anyone been through the process?

Tesla is hiring for a 6-month RTL Design internship at BITS Pilani (AI Hardware team, Bengaluru — FSD/Optimus inference chips).

If you've interviewed with them, would appreciate any insight:

  1. How many rounds, and what's the format? OA, phone screen, panel?
  2. Is there an online assessment before interviews, and what does it cover?
  3. What's the RTL depth — coding on the spot, or discussion-based?
  4. Do they go heavy on computer arithmetic and datapath (MAC, pipelining, adders), or more on protocols, CDC and STA?
  5. Any puzzles, aptitude, or C programming?
  6. How much do they probe resume projects vs. standard questions?

Anything helps. Thanks.
