Elon Musk’s Tesla is increasing employment for the mass production of the Optimus Humanoid Robot, also known as the Tesla Bot. The company lists employment alerts for several manufacturing roles, most of which are based at the company’s California facility. Joblist was brought to everyone’s attention by X’s @sawyermerritt and was later retweeted by Elon Musk. The same is also mentioned on the Tesla career page on the website.
The job list makes one thing clear. In other words, Tesla is actively seeking employment. The list includes opening positions such as manufacturing engineers, production supervisors, and process engineers. All of this focuses on Optimus.
Another LinkedIn post from Karissa Thein’s senior saucer Tesla also suggests popular adoption at the company. In her post, she wrote: “My team is turning Teslabot into reality! We are building Teslabot at the Fremont Factory in California and looking for engineers for the challenge of increasing this product to mass-produce this product. Masu.”
The vast number of jobs probably means Tesla is working to boost Optimus production.
Optimus or Teslabot was first announced in 2021 at Tesla’s AI Day Event. Since its launch, Mask has positioned it as one of the company’s important products. “I think this will be the most important product ever created,” Musk said at Tesla AI Event 2024.
Since the launch of humanoids, Tesla has demonstrated various iterations of Teslabots, demonstrating their ability to walk, carry objects and have conversations with the people around them. Tesla leverages its expertise in autonomous driving technology to improve Optimus. When Musk last introduced the humanoid robots that took place in October 2024, he said Teslabot can do anything you can think of.
In fact, Musk also described the capabilities of humanoid robots as virtually infinite. Optimus can walk your dog, babysit, mow the lawn, and serve drinks. Masks say they can expect robots to become commercially available soon, and mass production appears to be a step in that direction. He also estimated the bot’s prices in the range of $20,000-$30,000.
Last month, Elon Musk announced another call to hire software engineers for all apps. He called for hardcore software engineers to take part in ambitious projects, saying they don’t care about their degree or absence. Musk posted on X: “I don’t care where I went to school, whether I went to school, or which “big name” company I worked for. Show me the code,” he says.
