When engineering microscopic machines, increasing efficiency can often comeat a price of reduced reliability due to the impact of stochastic fluctuations.Here we develop a general method for performing multi-objective optimisation ofefficiency and work fluctuations in thermal machines operating close toequilibrium in either the classical or quantum regime. Our method utilisestechniques from thermodynamic geometry, whereby we match optimal solutions toprotocols parameterised by their thermodynamic length. We characterise theoptimal protocols for continuous-variable Gaussian machines, which form acrucial class in the study of thermodynamics for microscopic systems.
