Tesla Internship Craftsmanship Fall 
United States, California, Fremont 
478552255

23.06.2024
What to Expect

Consider before submitting an application:

This position is expected to start in-person around August or September 2024 and continue through the entire fall term (i.e. through end of 2024) or into early 2025 if available. We ask for a minimum of 12 weeks, full-time and on-site, for most internships. Please consider before submitting an application.

International Students: If your work authorization is through CPT, please consult your school on your ability to work 40 hours per week before applying. You must be able to work 40 hours per week on-site. Many students will be limited to part-time during the academic year.

What You’ll Do

Unique aspects of an internship in the Craftsmanship team include:

  • Broad vehicle exposure – We get involved in the design and engineering of all customer-facing systems, from seats to interior trim to exterior systems. Embedded in the Engineering team, this broad exposure makes for a huge variety in projects, cross-functional interaction, an ability to have a broad impact to the end product, and accelerates understanding of the design detail of multiple systems across the vehicle
  • Target Setting, Communication and Validation – We set measurable engineering targets that will deliver world-class craftsmanship through competitor vehicle benchmarking and data analysis; validate those targets through physical models, mockups, and using digital visualization tools; communicate and negotiate those targets with the wider Engineering and Studio teams, ensuring that they are achievable; and support the Engineering and Manufacturing teams in meeting those targets
  • Quantification of Customer Feeling – Much of what the Craftsmanship team does is turning subjective customer perception into objective engineering targets by quantifying the premium look, sound, or feel of a system, and identifying all the sensory inputs that will deliver a “wow” experience. For instance, the premium feeling of an armrest that is not too soft or hard, not too thick or thin is quantified with an engineering specification graph that defines force and deflection
What You’ll Bring

Requirements

  • Currently pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Design or a related field
  • Strong communication and influencing skills
  • An inherent attention to detail and an understanding of the factors that create a perception of exceptional quality in the mind of the consumer
  • An understanding of the fundamentals of good design and user experience, as well as the engineering fundamentals that facilitate delivery of the design
  • An appreciation for the impact and contribution to dimensional variation in assemblies
  • Some understanding of statistical analysis would be advantageous
  • An appreciation of how subjective data can be measured or quantified to develop robust, representative Craftsmanship targets
  • Good level of numeracy, literacy and logical reasoning skills
