They enable the design and test teams to succeed and be efficient by resolving cross-team dependencies, raising the bar on cost, quality, and scalability, advocating for our customers, and identifying risks and holes. Program managers are explicitly outside the firmware/software, hardware engineering, and system test organizations. This enables them to be independent, cross-functioning, hold teams accountable and identify problems as they see them.ResponsibilitiesYour application will be considered across all opportunities for the teams listed below:Battery EngineeringBattery ElectronicsBattery ManufacturingCell EngineeringDrive Systems EngineeringExteriors & Interiors EngineeringHomologation & Passive Safety EngineeringSafety & Restraints EngineeringStructures EngineeringRequirementsCurrently pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Management, Chemical Engineering or a related fieldProven success as a leader through extracurricular activities, academic projects, passion projects, or equivalent experiences (proven automotive or sustainability interest is a plus)Experience in CAD, 3D Modeling, 2D engineering assembly drawings, PLM systems (Enovia, Solidworks PDM, Teamcenter), BOM management and creationSystems level thinker with evidence of driving product design optimization across products, disciplines and teamsA detail-oriented personality with solid technical documentation and reporting skillsSolid grasp on engineering fundamentals, such as thermal dynamics, fluid dynamics, heat transfer, mechanics and electronicsExperience solving open-ended engineering problemsMotivated and active collaboratorProven interest in Tesla's mission to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy, through extracurricular activities, academic projects, passion projects, or equivalent experiencesCompensation & BenefitsBenefitsAs a full-time Tesla Intern, you will be eligible for:Medical plans > plan options with $0 payroll deductionFamily-building, fertility, adoption and surrogacy benefitsDental (including orthodontic coverage) and vision plans.
