Cap-Exempt H-1B Position — No lottery required
**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 **Benefits** **Compensation and Benefits** Along with competitive pay, as a full-time Tesla employee, you are eligible for the following benefits at day 1 of hire: - Medical plans > plan options with $0 payroll deduction - Family-building, fertility, adoption and surrogacy benefits - Dental (including orthodontic coverage) and vision plans, both have options with a $0 paycheck contribution - Company Paid (Health Savings Accounts) HSA Contribution when enrolled in the High-Deductible medical plan wit
