AI Engineer, Multimodal Training & Data Infrastructure, Tesla AI

What to Expect Scaling transformers, as well as more recent advances in Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR), has created models with PhD level intelligence in a wide variety of subject areas - from Math to Social Sciences. Yet these models continue to struggle in real-world physical reasoning, often struggling to tell left from right.

At Tesla AI, we want to develop Olympiad-level physical intelligence that will enable highly capable robots, both wheeled and legged. These models should be able to anticipate and reason about future movements of any object or scene at the level of a race car driver or professional athlete. To accomplish this, you will have access to petabytes of multimodal (video, audio, action etc.) real-world data from our global fleet of cars and robots, as well as Tesla's state-of-the-art compute resources.

In this role, you will architect the training and data infrastructure necessary to train these large multimodal models.

What You'll Do

• Architect data ingestion systems from fleet logging to scalable storage
• Build distributed dataloaders and orchestration tools (e.g., Kubernetes, Ray) to utilize tens of thousands of GPUs
• Automate dataset management, including versioning and lineage, to facilitate rapid, safe experimentation
• Profile and speed up model training
• Build fault tolerant training infrastructure

What You'll Bring
