Internship Program at Tesla

The Internship Recruiting Team is driven by the passion to recognize emerging talent. Our year around program places the best students in positions that they will grow both technically and personally through their experience working closely with their Manager, Mentor, and team. We provide an experience that allows for the intern to experience life at Tesla by giving them projects that are critical to their team’s success. 

The Solar Service Engineering team is responsible for monitoring energy production across our solar fleet, flagging systems that may be underperforming our estimates, and investigating them to identify the likely cause.  We work hand-in-hand with the Service organization to ensure we can keep all of our systems running optimally for the full life of the products we sell.  As our fleet continues to grow and age, we are constantly looking for approaches to improve our detection of real, actionable events and avoid unnecessary work on normal, weather-sensitive effects.

• Review system telemetry data to determine which sites are not meeting our energy targets
• Run fleet-wide scans to quantify the impact of specific modes of under-performance
• Update existing Python codebase improve the accuracy of our customer-facing system notifications
• Work with product design, system design, and field service teams to resolve performance issues not addressed with existing troubleshooting guidance
