Job Description
What To Expect
Tesla is re-thinking how batteries are made from the ground up. We’re designing new factories, new equipment, new processes, and new software to rapidly scale battery manufacturing, globally. The primary bottleneck to Tesla’s future expansion (and the transition to sustainable transport and energy storage) is our ability to produce and procure batteries – that’s why we’re innovating in-house, with our collection of world-class engineers, to redefine the industry. Software, data, and automation all play a huge part in this strategy. We’ve built software from scratch to meet the specific needs of Tesla’s rapid battery manufacturing scale up. This software tracks every component of the cell manufacturing process and acts as the brain of the entire cell factory. It’s key to ensuring batteries are made safely end-to-end and for understanding how to improve processes.
We’re looking for a data engineering intern that will help us tackle specific projects within Cell Manufacturing. These projects will involve advanced data analysis, building of detailed reports and working through some of the biggest production, quality, and cost bottlenecks in our Cell Factories. During this internship you will be working alongside world-class software and data engineers, and you’ll be working directly with engineers across multiple disciplines in cell manufacturing.
What You'll Do Perform detailed analysis against large data sets of manufacturing data (some data that is streamed at 1000 HZ) Root cause issues in cell manufacturing with your understanding of our data set, partnering with engineers from process, quality and controls to execute on their requests Build web-based frontend tools and visualizations which show critical factory data to manufacturing engineers Support data scientists and software engineers in using a centralized data platform to build interactive visualizations, generate reports, and conduct statistical analyses Work closely with manufacturing engineers to integrate new datasets into the data platform and ensure all data reporting needs can be met
What You'll Bring Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science or a related field of study with a graduation date between 2025-2026Ability to relocate and work on site in Austin, TXStrong programming experience with at least one of Python, Go, Java, or Scala. Experience working with databases, data warehouses, or distributed data systems Experience with Git or other source control software Experience with Kafka, ClickHouse, or Spark is a nice-to-have Experience with frontend development using Javascript, Typescript, or React is a nice-to-haveStrong verbal and written communication skills to quickly translate needs into data analysis problems and effectively communicate learnings
