About Tesla
Tesla is on a path to build humanoid robots at scale to automate repetitive and boring tasks. The goal of our reinforcement learning team is to build and demonstrate a general robot learning system that can leverage AI to perform complex physical tasks, ranging from full body locomotion, precise manipulation, and more. Our reinforcement and imitation learning engineers are responsible for end-to-end robotic learning 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.
About the Role
What You’ll Do
Develop end-to-end robotic learning with either reinforcement or imitation learning
Reinforcing correct set of actions, rewarding correct behavior and negating incorrect behavior (with real-time action/reward feedback loops)
Perform a large number of instructions and generalize new tasks with different objects and environments
Learn to perform dexterous tasks using high degree of freedom hands
Learn different robot policies to solve language-conditioned tasks from vision
Ship production quality, safety-critical software
