HPC Engineer, AI Infrastructure

Tesla's Supercomputing/AI infrastructure team works directly with the high-performance computing and machine learning infrastructure on which our ML algorithms run; this includes virtual simulations, Autopilot hardware, silicon design, and Dojo. With the rapidly-growing need for more data and optimized compute resources, cluster builds are getting larger and increasingly complex. Continued development/automation of deployment, monitoring, self-healing and alerting processes is imperative to the success of our engineering groups. As the scope and impact of our Tesla Bot, Full-Self-Driving (FSD) & Robotaxi efforts continue to scale, so does the value of this team and its work.

As an HPC Engineer, you will be responsible for maintaining and improving our platform to ensure our Full-Self-Driving (FSD), Tesla Bot & Dojo engineering teams have the necessary tools and resources to be productive. This includes managing/operating our AI infrastructure, monitoring compute/GPU/network metrics, Linux troubleshooting & performance tuning, and collaborating with our Data Center team to coordinate the smooth operation of hundreds of servers & bring up new GPU capacity. Your work will directly facilitate neural network training at scale, streamline FSD development, and enable Dojo to become the most powerful supercomputer to date.
