Job description

Job Summary:
Tesla is a leading company in the field of AI, focusing on building foundational models for real-world autonomy. The Machine Learning Engineer will be responsible for architecting and scaling quantization pipelines for multi-modal foundation models, optimizing inference latency and power consumption for various applications including self-driving cars and robots.
Responsibilities:
• Architect and scale quantization pipelines (both Post-Training Quantization and Quantization-Aware Training) for massive multi-modal foundation models that fuse vision, prediction, and decision-making. You will optimize inference latency, memory bandwidth utilization, and power consumption for self-driving cars, Optimus robots, and digital agents operating at enterprise scale
• Innovate quantization-aware-training recipes and algorithms that tackle complex optimization challenges inherent to low-precision training
• Push the limits of low-precision AI: Research and implement advanced low-bitweight post-training quantization techniques to address hard algorithmic problems such as activation outlier mitigation, KV cache compression, and optimal layer-wise bit-allocation while strictly maintaining model accuracy
• Collaborate closely with AI compiler, inference engine, and silicon teams to ensure models are architected to maximally utilize underlying hardware capabilities by co-designing quantization-friendly architectures, hardware-aware sparsity patterns, and mixed low-precision kernels
• Collaborate across perception, planning, robotics, digital agents, and infrastructure teams to move models from research to fleet-wide, robot-wide, and enterprise-wide deployment
Qualifications:
Required:
• Degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Robotics, Computer Vision, or related quantitative field
• 2+ years of hands-on experience training, optimizing, and deploying large-scale quantized deep learning models
• Strong technical understanding of the challenges inherent to quantizing large transformer architectures, including mitigating massive activation outliers, KV cache quantization, and maintaining the numerical stability of attention mechanisms at low precision
• Deep expertise in the theory and low-level implementation of modern quantization algorithms (e.g., GPTQ, AWQ, SmoothQuant, OmniQuant)
• Experience with low-level numerics and emerging data formats (e.g., FP8, INT4, W4A8, W8A8, micro-scaling/MX formats) and their trade-offs regarding latency, memory bandwidth, and model fidelity
• Rigorous understanding of computer architecture and the roofline model. Familiarity with how to optimize for memory hierarchies, minimize SRAM/DRAM data movement, and efficiently map quantized GEMMs and memory-bound operators to custom silicon
• Proficiency in writing custom CUDA/Triton kernels, implementing custom autograd functions (e.g., Straight-Through Estimators), and manipulating PyTorch computational graphs (e.g., FX tracing, torch.compile)
• Strong software engineering skills — clean, production-grade Python/C++ code that ships reliably at scale
• Proven ability to turn cutting-edge research into robust, real-world systems that improve safety, capability, efficiency, or digital productivity
• Passion for Tesla’s mission and excitement about deploying AI that moves both the physical and digital worlds forward
Company:
Tesla is an electric vehicle and clean energy company that provides electric cars, solar, and renewable energy solutions. Founded in 2003, the company is headquartered in Austin, USA, with a team of 10001+ employees. The company is currently Late Stage.
