Software Engineer, Generalist, AI Inference

Tesla, Palo Alto, California, United States, 94306


Our team productionalizes ML models - we train and deploy large neural networks for efficient inference on compute-constrained edge devices (CPU / GPU / AI ASIC). The nature of this role is multi-disciplinary - you will work at the intersection of machine learning and systems by building the ML frameworks and infrastructure that enable the seamless training, deployment, and inference of all neural networks that run on Autopilot and Optimus.

Responsibilities

Build robust AI frameworks to lower neural networks to edge devicesBuild robust AI infrastructure to train and fine-tune networks for Autopilot and Optimus on large GPU clustersDeploy state-of-the-art neural networks on heterogenous compute, including Tesla's in-house AI ASIC, with an aim to maximize network performance while minimizing latencyCollaborate with AI scientists and compiler engineers to effectively compress large models to run in low precisionDesign and implement custom GPU kernels (CUDA / OpenCL) for efficient training and post-processing of network outputsRequirements
