Job description

This internship position at Tesla is designed for students pursuing degrees in engineering fields such as Computer, Electrical, or Systems Engineering. The role focuses on collaborating with cross-functional teams to develop and validate system designs through hands-on technical experience. Interns will engage in critical projects that contribute to the team's success while gaining valuable insights into the workings of Tesla. The program emphasizes professional growth and technical development in a dynamic environment.

Requirements

  • 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.
  • Ability to read and interpret C/C++ or similar embedded systems languages.
  • Experience in MATLAB, Python, or equivalent tools for modeling and analysis.

Responsibilities

  • 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.

Benefits

  • 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.
