Recent graduates 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. You must be able to work 40 hours per week on-site. Many students will be limited to part-time during the academic year.
About The Team
Data is deeply embedded in the product and engineering culture at Tesla. We rely on data – lots of it – to improve autopilot, to optimize hardware designs, to proactively detect faults, and to optimize load on the electrical grid. We collect data from each of our cars, Superchargers, and energy storage devices to make these products better and our customers safer.
The Fleet Analytics team is a central team that helps many teams leverage the data we collect. We help engineers through direct support by doing data analysis for them and through applications and tools so they can self-serve those analyses in the future. To do so, we leverage our internal data platform built on top of AWS, S3, Spark, Trino using open-source data science tools such as Jupyter notebooks, Pandas, Bokeh, Superset, and Airflow. Our work has a direct impact on Tesla's product and enables the work of hundreds of engineers across disciplines throughout the company.

What You'll Bring Strong proficiency in Python, SQL Able to understand electrical systems Strong foundation in statistics Experience building data visualizations Experience writing software in a professional environment Strong verbal and written communication skills Strong problem-solving skills to help refine problem statements and figure out how to solve them with the available data Experience with data science tools such as Pandas, Numpy, R, Matlab, Octave is a plus Experience building data pipelines and web applications is nice to have
