Tesla Motors is Hiring an Internship, Perception Software Engineer, Tesla Bot (Fall 2024) Near Palo Alto, CA
Tesla is on a path to build humanoid bi-pedal robots at scale. As a member of the software team, you will design and implement reliable & efficient code for classical or learned robotics, specifically applying to perception, calibration, locomotion, object detection, and more. You will work on improving the robot's behavior in the real world, reflecting those capabilities in a simulation engine for evaluations and faster iterations. The code you will write will be deployed to our fleet of humanoid robots. Responsibilities
Build, integrate, and deploy real-time state-of-the-art perception models and algorithms into existing system architecture
Develop online and offline state estimation algorithms by fusing information from cameras, IMUs, and other sensors
Validate and document performance of algorithms and models in real and simulated environments
Create robust sensor calibration routines that perform reliably in complex and unpredictable environments
Train machine learning and deep learning models on a computing cluster for visual recognition & perception tasks
Requirements
Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field with a gradation date between 2024 - 2025
Proficient in C or Python
Strong background in core robotics fundamentals, such as kinematic/dynamic modeling, Bayesian state estimation (e.g., MAP, MMSE, MLE), 3D reconstruction, structure-from-motion, visual odometry, visual inertial odometry, bundle adjustment
Excellent software and computing fundamentals
