Machine Learning Engineer, Model Optimization & ...

What to ExpectTesla is building robust, real-world AI through humanoid robots. As a Software Engineer for the Optimus team, you will build the tools and infrastructure to make and measure improvements to neural network architecture, visualize data, assist with exporting and deploying neural networks to Tesla's neural network chip with real-time latency constraints on Optimus, and evaluate experimental results. You will help us automate the entire workflows of training, validation, and production of Optimus. Most importantly, you will see your work repeatedly shipped to and utilized by thousands of Humanoid Robots in real world applications.What You'll DoOptimize ML models for latency, memory usage, and inference speedQuantize, prune, and convert models (e.g., to ONNX, TensorRT, TFLite) for deployment on various platforms (cloud, edge, mobile)Benchmark and profile model performance across different environmentsPackage and deploy models as REST APIs, batch jobs, or streaming services using tools like FastAPI, Flask, or gRPCImplement CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment of ML modelsEnsure scalability and reliability of ML services in production environmentsWhat You'll BringStrong proficiency in Python and PyTorchExperience with model optimization tools (e.g., ONNX, TensorRT, TFLite, TVM)Experience with model inference optimizationand quantizationSolid understanding of containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and serverless deploymentsStrong grasp of software engineering principles and CI/CD pipelinesExperience deploying models to edge devices or mobile platformsKnowledge of data serialization formats (e.g., protobuf, Avro)Exposure to observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana) for ML monitoringCompensation and BenefitsBenefitsAlong with competitive pay, as a full-time Tesla employee, you are eligible for the following benefits at day 1 of hire:Aetna PPO and HSA plans > 2 medical plan options with $0 payroll deductionFamily-building, fertility, adoption and surrogacy benefitsDental (including orthodontic coverage) and vision plans, both have options with a $0 paycheck contributionCompany Paid (Health Savings Account) HSA Contribution when enrolled in the High Deductible Aetna medical plan with HSAHealthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)401(k) with employer match, Employee Stock Purchase Plans, and other financial benefitsCompany paid Basic Life, AD&D, short-term and long-term disability insuranceEmployee Assistance ProgramSick and Vacation time (Flex time for salary positions), and Paid HolidaysBack-up childcare and parenting support resourcesVoluntary benefits to include: critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident insurance, theft & legal services, and pet insuranceWeight Loss and Tobacco Cessation ProgramsTesla Babies programCommuter benefitsEmployee discounts and perks programExpected Compensation$140,000 - $420,000/annual salary + cash and stock awards + benefitsPay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
