About the Job

Requirements

  • Currently pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Energy Systems, or a related field.
  • Strong analytical skills and solid fundamentals in power system analysis and classical control theory.
  • Experience with modeling and simulation of power systems or inverter-based resources.
  • Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills applied to simulation models and numerical results.
  • Scripting and software skills sufficient to implement models and automate test execution in power system analysis tools.
  • Interest in the dynamic performance and control of inverter-based resources, including grid-following and grid-forming architectures.
  • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, cross-functional team environment and communicate technical results clearly.
  • Must be actively enrolled in an academic program; recent graduates who will not return to school should apply for full-time positions.
  • Must be able to work on-site 40 hours per week for at least 12 weeks.

Responsibilities

  • Implement user-defined models in RMS and EMT platforms, including PSCAD, PSS®E, PowerFactory, TSAT, and MATLAB/Simulink.
  • Test, debug, and troubleshoot model implementations to confirm simulated performance matches expected converter and plant-level behavior.
  • Develop automated testing and validation workflows to evaluate model response and maintain consistency of results across simulation platforms.
  • Investigate and resolve discrepancies between simulation platforms and between RMS and EMT domains.
  • Document model behavior, assumptions, and limitations to support internal review and external study requests.

About the Company

Tesla

Makes electric cars, robotaxis and grid batteries

Tesla makes electric cars and batteries that store power for homes and utilities, and it develops self-driving software and humanoid robots. In 2023, its Model Y became the first electric vehicle to rank as the world's best-selling car. Buyers order the Model 3 sedan, Model Y SUV, or Cybertruck pickup directly from Tesla instead of through dealers, and they charge on its Supercharger fast-charging network. It also sells Megapack and Powerwall batteries, runs a robotaxi service, and charges drivers a monthly fee for self-driving software that still needs their supervision. Tesla was founded in 2003, with Elon Musk as its lead early investor and a recognized co-founder, and it is based in Austin, Texas.
