Research Engineer, Foundation Models, Self-Driving

Tesla is seeking exceptional software engineers to build Tesla AI's foundation models. You will join a small group of world-class deep learning experts to develop state-of-the-art neural networks and push the boundaries of AI research and development. Your work will enable real-world intelligent systems for both Self-Driving and Tesla Bot.

What You'll Do:

• Lead applied research to advance foundation models for both autonomous driving and humanoid robots
• Work across the machine learning stack – curating a massive stream of data, designing and implementing new neural network architectures, training models, evaluating model performance
• Work with a talented team on cutting-edge techniques in large multimodal models, multi-task learning, video networks, generative models, imitation learning, semi-supervised learning, and self-supervised learning
• Have an outsized impact deploying foundation models to millions of Tesla's robotic platforms across the world

What You'll Bring:

• Proven track record of innovations and executions in deep learning, demonstrated with shipping products or first-author publications at leading AI conferences
• Strong software engineering skills: much of modern deep learning success comes down to the quality of the implementation and strong engineering ability is non-negotiable
• Demonstrated excellence and a proven track record of solving difficult software engineering problems
• An "under the hood" knowledge of deep learning: layer details, loss functions, optimization, etc.
• Experience with PyTorch, or another major deep learning framework
• Experience working with large datasets

Benefits: Tesla offers competitive pay and a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision plans, 401(k) with employer match, stock options, and more. The company also provides family-building benefits, healthcare FSA, and various employee support programs.

Join Tesla and be part of a team pushing the boundaries of AI in autonomous driving and robotics!
