Electrical Engineer, AI Inference Hardware, Optimus

Overview The AI inferencing Hardware team is responsible for designing the computing hardware that delivers the autonomous capability for Tesla vehicles and humanoid robots. We design complex high speed compute boards with Tesla in-house AI silicon, to deliver inferencing performance while meeting efficiency, cost, reliability goals. The AI computer is integrated as the “brain” for humanoid robot, Optimus, to perform physical world tasks.
