Simulation AI Engineer, Autopilot Simulation
Job Posting for Simulation AI Engineer, Autopilot Simulation at Tesla Motors
Job Details
What to Expect
Autopilot is of critical importance to Tesla's mission. It is safer, makes driving more enjoyable, and will ultimately deliver on the promise of self-driving cars. As a member of Tesla's Autopilot Simulation team, you will be in a unique position to accelerate the pace at which Autopilot improves over time. The main ways in which the simulation team realizes this through building tools that enable Autopilot software developers to perform virtual test drives instead of real ones, testing all Autopilot software releases for regressive behavior and generating synthetic data sets for neural network training.
As a Simulation AI Engineer you will be utilizing the Autopilot simulator on Tesla's training cluster to evaluate full-self driving models, generate synthetic datasets and train the in-car neural networks. Data is a key ingredient in deep learning systems and Tesla relies on both fleet learning and simulation to provides unique additional advantages.
