Tesla Optimus Simulation Team Overview

We are working to create a humanoid bi-pedal robot at scale to automate repetitive and mundane tasks for manufacturing and logistics.

As a member of the Tesla 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 focuses 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.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop and implement features in physics simulator to improve contact physics, runtime performance, etc.
  • Implement methodologies and tools to help address sim to real gaps
  • Closely collaborate with AI/RL teams to address gaps in simulation software
  • Stay up-to-date with the latest research and technologies in humanoid robotics and simulation
Requirements
  • Deep understanding of one of the physics simulators (e.g. Drake, Mujoco, Physx, Simulink)
  • Experience in GPU-accelerated physics
  • Strong proficiency in C/C++ and Python
  • Degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field or equivalent experience
  • Knowledge of machine learning techniques and optimization methods for improving simulation accuracy and closing the sim-to-real gap
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to troubleshoot complex systems

Estimated Salary: $150,000 - $300,000 per annum + benefits
