Tesla Motors, Inc.
Machine Learning Engineer, Model Optimization & Deployment, Optimus
Tesla Motors, Inc., Palo Alto, California, United States, 94306
What to Expect
Tesla
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 Do
Optimize
ML models for latency, memory usage, and inference speed
Quantize, 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 environments
Package and deploy
models
as REST APIs, batch jobs, or streaming services using tools like
FastAPI
, Flask, or
gRPC
Implement CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment of ML models
Ensure scalability and reliability of ML services in production environments
What You'll Bring
Strong
proficiency
in Python and
PyTorch
Experience with model optimization tools (e.g., ONNX,
TensorRT
,
TFLite
, TVM)
Experience with model
inference optimization
and quantization
Solid understanding of containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and serverless deployments
Strong grasp of software engineering principles and CI/CD pipelines
Experience deploying models to edge devices or mobile platforms
Knowledge of data serialization formats (e.g.,
protobuf
, Avro)
Exposure to observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana) for ML monitoring
