Summary
Sagar Patel is an experienced electrical engineer based in Palo Alto with 12 years designing high-performance electronics for automotive and data-center compute systems. At Tesla he progressed from hands-on sensor R&D and body-controls to leading electronic design for the FSD computer and the second-generation Dojo, covering system architecture, schematic capture, PCB layout and validation. He brings deep expertise in power electronics, high-speed design, RF and 3D EM simulation (Ansys SIwave/HFSS/Maxwell) alongside tools like Altium and Cadence. Sagar combines practical lab skills—test automation and environmental validation—with systems-level thinking for safety-critical and high-density compute platforms. Notably, he has built scalable test frameworks and managed cross-disciplinary teams that turned prototype concepts into production-ready hardware. His background spans startup wearable R&D to massive autonomous-driving and AI compute programs, giving him a rare blend of breadth and depth.
