Tesla is seeking a highly skilled Machine Learning Engineer to join the Supply Chain Engineering team. The role involves designing, developing, and deploying machine learning models for supply chain forecasting, optimization, and risk assessment, while collaborating with supply chain planners to ensure real-time decision-making.

• Proven experience in scaling and optimizing inference for large ML models, particularly transformers or similar architectures
• Familiarity with quantization-aware training, model compression, and distillation for edge and real-time inference
• Proficiency with Python and C++ and deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX
• Strong understanding of computer systems and architecture, with experience deploying ML models on GPUs, TPUs, or NPUs
• Hands-on expertise with CUDA programming, low-level performance profiling, and compiler-level optimization (TensorRT, TVM, XLA)

• Design, develop, and implement machine learning models for supply chain forecasting, including demand prediction, inventory optimization and risk assessment using techniques like supervised learning, convolutional neural networks, and tools such as PyTorch and Pandas
• Collaborate with supply chain planners to integrate ML models into existing platforms, ensuring real-time decision making for supplier selection, warehouse allocation, reduce costs and mitigate part availability risks
• Perform model validation and performance monitoring to ensure models maintain high accuracy
• Take ownership of production models, ensuring robust alerting systems for rapid issue resolution
• Work with diverse, heterogeneous datasets (supply, demand, seasonal variation) to build scalable solutions
• Translate ambiguous problem statements into actionable, end-to-end machine learning models
• Follow agile development practices and maintain high standards for clean, modular, and sustainable code

• Employees at Tesla are often offered day-one coverage with multiple medical options (some at $0 paycheck cost), dental/vision, company HSA contributions, a 401(k) match, and equity programs. Most roles also include paid time off and holidays, family-building support, employee assistance, commuter and childcare benefits, and access to discounts and wellness programs.
