Description For Internship, Generalist Controls Engineer, Tesla Bot (Winter/Spring 2025)

Tesla is seeking a Generalist Controls Engineer Intern for their Tesla Bot project, starting around January 2025 and continuing through the Winter term (April/May 2025) or into Summer 2025. This full-time, on-site internship requires a minimum of 12 weeks commitment.

As a member of the software team, you will design and implement reliable & efficient control code for bipedal locomotion, object manipulation, and state estimation. You'll work on improving the robot's behavior in the real world and reflecting those capabilities in a simulation engine for fast iteration. The code you write will eventually run in thousands of humanoid robots in real-world situations, adhering to high-quality standards.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Programming in C or C++
  • Developing closed-loop control systems in an embedded environment
  • Applying linear systems analysis, stability, and controller design
  • Working with non-linear systems
  • Delivering high-quality code for embedded systems

Ideal candidates should:

  • Be pursuing an advanced degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Aerospace, Automotive, Robotics Engineering, or a related field, graduating in 2025
  • Have experience with state estimation using IMU, encoders, force sensors, etc.
  • Have worked on bipedal robots or other multi-DOF robotic hardware
  • Have experience shipping control algorithms on real products at scale

Tesla offers a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision plans, 401(k), stock purchase plans, and various insurance options. The expected compensation range is $100,000 - $150,000 plus benefits, varying based on location, knowledge, skills, and experience.

Join Tesla in their mission to build advanced humanoid robots and contribute to cutting-edge technology in the field of robotics and AI.
