Li Auto Inc plans to establish a chip research and development office in Hong Kong, recruiting AI chip architects at levels 18-19. The position of this office is positioned as an international technology exchange center, under the Li Auto Inc chip pre-research department. The currently open positions roughly correspond to technical experts/senior experts in top domestic internet companies (such as Alibaba P7/P8), with a team size estimated to be around 10 people. An individual close to Li Auto Inc stated that the Li Auto Inc chip pre-research department is under the Systems Operation Department, mainly responsible for software development work related to smart driving chips. "The pre-research team wants elite individuals." Li Auto Inc is simultaneously developing two types of chips, one for smart driving scenarios, the AI inference chip, and the other for the drive motor controller, the SiC power chip. In particular, the Li Auto Inc smart driving AI inference chip adopts a architecture similar to Tesla Hardware 5.0, with approximately 40 billion transistors, and has been sent to Taiwan Semiconductor for wafer processing.
