Tesla is looking for interns to work on next-gen power converters for cutting-edge applications such as vehicle on-board chargers, PV inverters, Powerwall, Supercharger, and Megapack. The interns will be responsible for collaborating with cross-functional teams, debugging issues, and ensuring product compliance with required standards.
Requirements
- Fundamental knowledge of power electronics topologies (AC/DC, DC/DC & DC/AC) and switching waveforms
- Familiarity with schematic capture, power converter and electro-magnetic circuit simulation tools
- Hands-on experience with EMI filter designs for power converters and compliance testing
- Strong understanding of conducted and radiated noise sources and their mitigation techniques in power electronic systems
- Experience with design of common mode and differential mode chokes for noise filtering
- Experience in supervision of PCB layout for minimal stray parameters, power/signal plane definition for EMC optimization
- Thorough knowledge of EMC test standards such as FCC and EN
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with multifaceted cross-functional teams, including electrical and mechanical design engineers, magnetics design engineers, controls engineers, and EMC test engineers throughout the entire product development cycle, including concept and architecture definition, design, prototyping, testing, supplier collaboration, and manufacturing introduction
- Leverage your strong technical background and problem-solving abilities to debug issues and implement fixes during EMC testing, ensuring our products are fully compliant with required standards
- Carryout EMI filter design, provide direction for schematic and circuit board layout, product integration, packaging, assembly, cable interface design, shielding, and grounding to ensure EMC compliance at the product level
Other
- This position is expected to start around January 2026 and continue through the Winter/Spring term (ending approximately May 2026) or continuing into Summer 2026 if available and there is an opportunity to do so.
- We ask for a minimum of 12 weeks, full-time and on-site, for most internships.
- Our internship program is for students who are actively enrolled in an academic program.
- entry level candidates seeking employment after graduation and not returning to school should apply for full-time positions, not 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.
