This internship at Tesla is designed for students pursuing degrees in engineering fields, focusing on system-level requirements and cross-functional design discussions. Interns will work on hardware and software interfaces, develop prototypes, and validate system designs through testing.

• Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field
• Strong electrical and embedded systems fundamentals
• Hands-on technical experience debugging complex subsystems involving network microprocessors and software-controlled electrical or electromechanical devices
• Understand and highlight nth order impacts of electrical, software, or process changes
• Understand and debug hardware and software interactions during design, launch, and deployment
• Ability to read and interpret C/C++ or similar embedded systems languages
• Experience in MATLAB, Python, or equivalent tools for modeling and analysis

• Distill system level requirements into quantifiable constraints and actionable discussions for hardware and software teams
• Host cross-functional systems design discussions with electrical, software, manufacturing, mechanical design, and service teams
• Translate systems design discussions into design documents in the form of system block diagrams, functional requirements, and performance requirements
• Define system hardware and software interfaces
• Develop early system prototypes to de-risk new technologies
• Execute initial system bring-up and integration testing at the vehicle level to validate system design assumptions

• 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.
