🚨Tesla AI is hiring for the Optimus Hand job. This position will lead the architecture, design, prototyping, validation, industrialization, and mass production of the hand hardware subsystem.

A fitting analogy for the pace at which Tesla has been making progress over the years is that of a Formula One car, whose peak acceleration increases in proportion to its speed as a result of enhanced traction generated by aerodynamic downforce. Our goal is to get Optimus to high-volume production as fast as possible. If your passion is designing drive systems, electronics, sensors, dynamic harness, cameras, body or hand structures and you want to overcome micron tolerancing challenges, and accelerate the scalability of humanoid robot manufacturing, this is the opportunity for you! You will learn a ton and make a huge impact! Apply here:

.@elonmusk told me he plans to build “Optimus Academy” to train an army of humanoid robots. > “millions of simulated robots in the simulated world” > “tens of thousands of robots in the real world, to close the simulation to reality gap.” Why? There’s two big differences between the way Tesla will train humanoid robots and the way it built Full Self-Driving. - FSD only requires learning three degrees of freedom: turning, accelerating, braking … and a humanoid robot has to learn how to coordinate 50+ joints. - You can sell a Tesla without FSD, which allows you to collect the millions and millions of hours of driving data needed to bootstrap your model ... but you can’t sell an Optimus that hasn’t learned how to do stuff yet. The Optimus Academy is Elon’s attempt to build the data flywheel that Tesla got for free with FSD.
