What To Expect
Tesla AI is solving robust embodied intelligence through humanoid robots. You will work on cutting-edge policy learning algorithms that allow the robot to walk, dance, balance, and recover from disturbances in real-world settings. Most importantly, the motion policies that you deploy will be repeatedly shipped and utilized by thousands of humanoid robots in real-world applications.

What You'll Do

Develop end-to-end reinforcement-learning policies for whole-body movements

Design observations, actions, and rewards based on first principles and deep physics understanding

Develop techniques to improve sim2real transfer, including classical modeling techniques

Evaluate policies both in simulation and on hardware

Ship production-quality policies to a fleet of bots

What You'll Bring

Experience writing production-quality python (including numpy and pytorch)

Solid understanding of robotics fundamentals, including geometry, linear algebra, kinematics, dynamics, probability, and statistics

Familiarity with Machine learning and Reinforcement Learning fundamentals OR strong background in optimization-based planning and control

Experience working with robotic systems, ideally on legged robotic systems with high degrees of freedom

Experience with sim2real techniques OR deep understanding of physics fundamentals

Experience implementing control strategies including impedance control, adaptive control, force control, MPC on hardware preferred
