Tesla posted a "Software Engineer, Mobile, Optimus" role in Palo Alto, describing the Optimus mobile app as how users control the humanoid robot and check its status — with foundations, interaction model, and product being "invented now." The poster expects a demo within 3-6 months with serious "wow" effect, while noting the Roadster remains a prototype at least 18 months from commercialization.
