Software Engineer, Machine Learning Operations, Manufacturing Quality

Manufacturing Quality Data Engineering RoleThe Manufacturing Quality Data Engineering team specializes in predicting safety critical issues before they occur, protecting our customers. As part of Tesla's Vehicle Engineering organization, you'll have access to the data gold mine of design, manufacturing, and vehicle data sources, enabling you to design, develop, and deploy innovative generative AI and machine learning platforms globally. In this role, you'll focus on developing data pipelines for global machine learning platforms.ResponsibilitiesDesign and develop anomaly detection platforms for creating, tracking, and applying statistical and machine learning models in production environments, with a focus on identifying deviations in real-time manufacturing processes using high-resolution and time series data from global sitesCreate and refine machine learning models to maximize accuracy and impact, incorporating techniques like sequence modeling (e.g., LSTMs, transformers) and feature engineering; engage stakeholders and rapidly iterate based on feedback to improve predictions for equipment failures and quality issuesDesign and develop ETLs, data pipelines, automation systems, and APIs for retrieving, processing, analyzing, and visualizing batch and real-time data, ensuring scalability and low-latency handling of large-scale datasets from worldwide equipment sourcesAnalyze manufacturing, equipment, and vehicle data to extract useful statistics and insights about failures, enabling early prediction of issues and proactive actions through ML-driven forecasting and pattern recognition across global sitesEngage with cross-functional teams to identify underutilized data sources and invent new ML-based methods to interact with and derive insights from them, such as advanced clustering or predictive analytics for site-specific optimizationsRequirementsBachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent experience3+ years of work experience in data analytics, data engineering, machine learning or related fieldsExtensive experience writing software with PythonExperience with multiple data architecture paradigms (e.g. MySQL, MicrosoftSQL, Oracle, MongoDB, Kafka, Hadoop, Hbase, Spark)Experience with infrastructure and continuous integration pipelines (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes, Airflow, Jenkins)Experience with open source machine learning libraries and frameworks (e.g. Scikit-Learn, Tensorflow, PyTorch, Keras) and introduce accurate models to a production environmentAble to work under pressure while collaborating and managing competing demands with tight deadlinesA passion for machine learning and a results-oriented mindsetCompensation & BenefitsBenefitsAlong 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 deductionFamily-building, fertility, adoption and surrogacy benefitsDental (including orthodontic coverage) and vision plans, both have options with a $0 paycheck contributionCompany Paid (Health Savings Accounts) HSA Contribution when enrolled in the High-Deductible medical plan with HSAHealthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)401(k) with employer match, Employee Stock Purchase Plans, and other financial benefitsCompany paid Basic Life, AD&DShort-term and long-term disability insurance (90 day waiting period)Employee Assistance ProgramSick and Vacation time (Flex time for salary positions, Accrued hours for Hourly positions), and Paid HolidaysBack-up childcare and parenting support resourcesVoluntary benefits to include: critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident insurance, theft & legal services, and pet insuranceWeight Loss and Tobacco Cessation ProgramsTesla Babies programCommuter benefitsEmployee discounts and perks programExpected Compensation $120,000 - $216,000/annual salary + cash and stock awards + benefitsPay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
