Tesla Internship Cell Engineer Engineering Fall 
United States, California, Palo Alto 
808963698

23.06.2024
What to Expect

Consider before submitting an application:

This position is expected to start around August 2024 and continue through the entire Fall term (i.e. through December 2024) or into Spring 2025 if available. We ask for a minimum of 12 weeks, full-time and on-site, for most internships.

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

Cell Materials

  • The Cell Materials Engineering team leads the design, qualification, and test method development of cathode, anode, and electrolyte. The team is responsible for the implementation of Tesla's cell materials technology roadmap from development to product-ready. Interns will be responsible for managing material program scope, identifying program risks, and driving program key decision making and facilitate cross-functional alignments.

Cell Development

  • The Cell Development Lab serves to prototype next generation materials, electrodes, and cells for Tesla's future electric vehicle and energy storage products. Interns on this team will help in development of Automated Cell prototype Line equipment and processes to rapidly and reliably produce cells to qualify Tesla's future battery cell materials and electrodes. They will drive improvements to improve Cpk, reduce turnaround time, and improve OEE of the line.

Cell Modeling

  • The cell modeling team generate cell lifetime models to predict aging characteristics based on large datasets generated from our test labs. Interns on this team will process test data and optimize model parameters to best predict cell lifetime at different scenarios for electric vehicles and energy storage products. They will translate degradation mechanisms into mathematical representations that can be accommodated by existing models.

What You’ll Bring
  • Currently pursuing a degree in Engineering, preferably Mechanical, Materials, Chemical, Electrical, Aerospace, or a related field
  • Experience with SolidWorks, Python, Catia, CAD/AutoCAD, Revit, 3DX or other 3D modelling software
  • Experience using MATLAB/Simulink for modeling physical systems
  • Knowledge of lithium-ion battery technology and electrochemistry
  • Expertise with analysis and/or qualification of lithium-ion cell materials including cathode, anode, electrolyte, etc.
  • First-principle physics understanding of electrical and mechanical systems, power delivery, energy storage and transformation, and thermo-fluids engineering
