What To Expect
The Optimus team designs and builds humanoid bi-pedal robots to automate repetitive tasks and wheeled robots for manufacturing and autonomous logistics. The team joins mechanical, electrical, controls, software, and manufacturing engineering disciplines in a highly collaborative team. You will work on improving the robot’s behavior in the real world and reflecting those capabilities in a simulation engine for fast iteration. The code you will write will at term run in thousands of humanoid robots in real world situations and will therefore be held to high quality standards.
What You'll Do
Work on the architecture and controls for per-joint level systems in the Tesla Bot
Robot modelling architecture
Conceptual design of biped robots
Accurate modeling of kinematic chains
Abstraction and conversion of joint mechanisms into rigid body trees
Physics/model representations of joints, limbs
Design and support of new mechanism
Measurement and matching of model and simulation
Complex controls simplification for fast analysis
What You'll Bring
Degree in Electrical Engineering or related field or equivalent experience and evidence of exceptional ability
3+ years’ experience with controls system development, modeling, and implementation
Excellent background in linear systems analysis, stability, and controller design
Creating dynamic models of electrical, mechanical, and thermal systems
Experience, understanding, and intuition for the physics of basic electric propulsion, motion control systems, and heat transfer
Knowledge in control systems including, spring loaded inverted pendulum, zero momentum control, model predictive control, Motor controls, etc. Modeling knowledge in inverse kinematics, inverse/forward dynamics, impedance control, torque control, etc.
Basic design of electric motors, power electronics and control circuits
Familiar with gear reduction mechanisms including planetary, belt drives, harmonics drives, magnetic gears, etc.
Excellent programming skills in Python, C++, Matlab/Simulink
Benefits
Compensation and Benefits

Back-up childcare and parenting support resources
Voluntary benefits to include: critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident insurance, theft & legal services, and pet insurance
Weight Loss and Tobacco Cessation Programs
Tesla Babies program
Commuter benefits
Employee discounts and perks program
Expected Compensation
$124,000 - $285,600/annual salary + cash and stock awards + benefits
Pay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The total compensation package for this position may also include other elements dependent on the position offered. Details of participation in these benefit plans will be provided if an employee receives an offer of employment.
