Internship, AI Engineer, Self-Driving (Fall 2024)

Tesla is seeking exceptional Machine Learning Interns to help build large scale models to drive the future of autonomy across all current and future generations of Tesla AI products. You will work on a lean team without boundaries and have access to one of the world’s largest training clusters with a data engine that constantly generates new information for improving our models. Most importantly, you will see your work repeatedly shipped to and utilized by millions of Tesla’s customers. 

We are seeking Interns in the following AI disciplines: 

• Train large-scale foundation and generative models that are optimized for performance and latency 
• Improve data engine for large scale and high-quality dataset curation
• Reinforcement Learning for instilling objectives and improving overall robustness
• Design compound AI systems for better planning and reasoning

• Demonstrated experience in machine learning frameworks and models such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, GPT, CNNs, and generative models
• Strong experience with Python and software engineering best practices 
• Experience with one or more of imitation Learning, reinforcement learning (offline/off-policy), modern neural network architectures (e.g., GPT, diffusion, generative models), or related techniques
• An “under the hood” knowledge of deep learning: layer details, loss functions, optimization, etc
• Prior experience with sparse training techniques, neural network pruning, and generative modeling
• Experience with training large models on distributed computing
• Ability to work on complex problems and produce significant research and/or experience deploying production ML models at scale
• Proven track record of innovations and executions in deep learning, demonstrated with shipping products or first-author publications at leading AI conferences
