Software, Chips, Robots: Elon Musk Touts 'Super Exciting Work Happening At Tesla'

Tesla Inc TSLA CEO Elon Musk said on Tuesday that ‘super exciting work’ is happening at the company.

What Happened: “Super exciting work happening at Tesla in AI software, chip design & robots!” Musk said on Tuesday. The CEO was responding to a tweet by Tim Zaman who leads AI Infrastructure at Tesla and Twitter.

Zaman called for people to either drop a message to Clive Chan, Senior software engineer at Tesla, or drop by the Tesla booth at the  IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) if they ‘want to work on the world’s biggest supercomputers.’ CVPR is an annual computer vision event including a conference, workshops and short courses. It started on June 18th and will go on till Thursday at the Vancouver Convention Center.

Zaman also retweeted a thread by a former intern at Tesla’s autopilot team who termed it ‘an amazing experience.’ “Overall, I think the Autopilot team is the best place to be if you want to work with amazing people on one of the biggest challenges in robotics and AI today,” the former intern wrote.

The Autopilot team is hiring and will be hosting a happy hour on Wednesday, June 21st.

Why It Matters: Tesla’s AI and robotics team seeks to develop Tesla bot, Full Self-Driving chip, Dojo chip, neural networks and Dojo system, among others. The company has sought staff who have done “exceptional work” in software, hardware or AI on its website.

In May, Tesla showed off the progress of the Tesla Bot walking and completing basic tasks at its annual shareholder meeting. Tesla is now training them for increasingly complex tasks. Musk later also flexed Tesla’s achievements on the AI front saying, "It’s not like we didn’t see it coming."
