What To Expect
Tesla AI is solving robust embodied intelligence through humanoid robots. Core to this is the manipulation stack, which presents a unique opportunity to work on state-of-the-art algorithms for object manipulation culminating in their deployment to real world production applications. Our robotic manipulation software engineers develop and own this stack from inception to deployment. Most importantly, you will see your work repeatedly shipped to and utilized by thousands of Humanoid Robots in real world applications.
What You'll Do
Design and develop our learned robotic manipulation software stack and algorithmsDevelop robotic manipulation capabilities including but not limited to (re)grasping, pick-and-place, and more dexterous behaviors to enable useful work in both structured and unstructured environmentsModel robotic manipulation processes to enable analysis, simulation, planning, and controlsReason about uncertainty due to measurements and physical interaction with the environment, and develop algorithms that adapt well to imperfect informationAssist with overall software architecture design, including designing interfaces between subsystemsShip production quality, safety-critical softwareCollaborate with a team of exceptional individuals laser focused on bringing useful bi-ped humanoid robots into the real world
What You'll Bring
Production quality modern C++ or PythonExperience in deep imitation learning or reinforcement learning in realistic applicationsExposure to robotics learning through tactile and/or vision-based sensorsExperience writing both production-level Python (including Numpy and Pytorch) and modern C++Proven track record of training and deploying real world neural networksFamiliarity with 3D computer vision and/or graphics pipelinesExperience with Natural Language ProcessingExperience with distributed deep learning systemsPrior work in Robotics, State estimation, Visual Odometry, SLAM, Structure from Motion, 3D Reconstruction
