Join to apply for the Staff Machine Learning Engineer, Intelligent Scheduling Systems role at Tesla

What To Expect
Tesla is seeking a Machine Learning Engineer to join our cross-functional team of ML and software engineers focused on building and scaling intelligent scheduling systems that drive service operations across our global network. This includes solving complex, high-impact problems such as vehicle routing, resource allocation, demand forecasting, and operational optimization.
In this role, your primary focus will be using and integrating state-of-the-art AI tools — including large language models (LLMs) and autonomous agents — to build intelligent systems that enhance and automate scheduling workflows. You'll be responsible for bringing AI capabilities into production through robust engineering, experimentation, and continuous improvement.
You’ll collaborate with a team that blends software engineering, data science, and applied ML to deliver scalable solutions that operate in real-world environments.
What You'll Do

Design, build, and maintain production-grade intelligent scheduling systems powered by AI tools like large language models and agentic frameworks

Own the full lifecycle of ML and optimization models — from exploration and prototyping to deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement

Develop workflows that leverage AI to improve decision-making, automate planning, and adapt to real-time operational constraints

Implement prompt engineering and orchestration techniques to improve performance, reliability, and user alignment

Conduct exploratory data analysis (EDA) to uncover insights, guide modeling decisions, and inform product direction

Contribute to system architecture and design, especially where AI, automation, and operational scale intersect

Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure solutions align with system design, operational needs, and end-user impact

Apply software engineering best practices — including version control, testing, CI/CD, and containerization — to ML and data pipelines

What You'll Bring

Degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Operations Research, Applied Math, or a related field (MS/PhD a plus), or related field, or equivalent experience

5+ years of work experience in training and maintaining production ML models and data pipelines for real world applications

Expertise with large language models, AI agents, prompt engineering, and AI platforms (e.g. OpenAI, HuggingFace, LangChain, LlamaIndex, etc.)

Strong foundation in statistics, probability, ML, and optimization

Proficiency in Python data tools (e.g., SQL, pandas, numpy, Jupyter, matplotlib)

Familiarity with Golang or a willingness to learn it quickly

Proven history of delivering data-driven projects from inception through deployment

Experience with logistics, supply chain, or operations tech is a plus

Exceptional communication and collaboration skills across disciplines

A strategic and proactive mindset — comfortable with ambiguity and ownership of end-to-end project delivery
