Job Description

Tesla is on a path to build humanoid bi-pedal robots at scale to automate repetitive and boring tasks for manufacturing/logistics. As a member of Tesla's Optimus Simulation team, you will be in a unique position to accelerate the pace at which the Tesla Bot Autonomy stack improves over time.

The Optimus Simulation Team focues on building core components to virtualize all aspects of the Tesla Bot within our simulator, ensuring seamless integration and accurate modeling. We rigorously test all Tesla Bot software releases to identify and address any regressive behavior, maintaining optimal performance. Our work involves generating synthetic datasets and creating reinforcement learning environments to enhance neural network training. Additionally, we strive to bridge the sim-to-real gap, enabling the Tesla Bot to perform effectively in real-world scenarios.

As part of the simulation team you will primarily contribute to improving the state of the physics simulator. These include implementing new simulation features, addressing sim to real gaps, and improving run time performance.
