We offer year-round internship opportunities, at Tesla office locations around the world.
“My experiences as a Tesla intern are some that I will take with me for the rest of my career. I had the opportunity to tackle problems that were challenging, unique, and relevant—and within several weeks, I was trained to weigh in on decisions that would affect an entire production line.”
– Michaela
“Just the feeling of knowing that I helped to build a car that critics said couldn’t and wouldn’t exist, is a feeling that I wouldn’t trade for anything.”
– Andrew

What do interns work on?
Interns can work on a variety of projects to help advance the company’s mission. The recruitment process aims to match students with teams and projects that best fit their areas of interest and experiences. Assignments range based on the company’s current hiring needs, but most often include critical projects and hands-on involvement. We expect our students to perform at the same caliber of excellence as any of our employees.

Yes. Based on Tesla’s current hiring needs and the student’s proven performance, we have many interns who return in a full-time role. This is intended to be a talent pipeline program.
Do only former interns get hired full-time?
No. While being an intern adds direct experience and creates an opportunity for advancement into full-time roles, it is not a requirement to apply for open positions.

If I’ve already graduated with a degree, can I apply for an internship?
For US roles, internships are created as a working opportunity for current students.
