Internship Program at Tesla
The Internship Recruiting Team is driven by the passion to recognize and develop emerging talent. Our year-round program places the best students in positions where they will grow technically, professionally, and personally through their experience working closely with their Manager, Mentor, and team. We are dedicated to providing an experience that allows the intern to experience life at Tesla by including them in projects that are critical to their team’s success.
About the Team
As a Software Engineer for the Tesla Autopilot team, you will build infrastructure to facilitate neural network architecture design and large-model scaling, improve distributed training speed, curate complex dataset generation, and build tools for visualizing data and evaluating experimental results. You will help us automate the entire workflows of training, validation, and production for (Supervised) Full Self Driving. Most importantly, you will see your work repeatedly shipped to and utilized by a vast fleet of cars actually driving on the road.
The topics above outline the breadth covered by our team. Typically interns work with their leads to craft a project in one (or some) of these areas based on their interests and the current needs of the team at the time they join.
