About the Job

Requirements

Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, with a graduation date from May 2027 through December 2027.
Have a solid understanding of system- and package-level signal integrity and power integrity, and electromagnetic theory.
Have prior design and signal-integrity/power-integrity modeling experience with high-speed serial interfaces, memory interfaces, and power integrity analysis.
Be familiar with laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, vector network analyzers, and bit-error-rate test scopes.
Have experience correlating laboratory measurements and validating simulation results.
Have strong hands-on skills in data analysis, debugging, and laboratory measurement.

Responsibilities

Design system-on-chip packages, printed circuit boards, and systems with optimized power integrity and signal integrity.
Work with cross-functional teams and vendors on high-speed interconnect design, including advanced packaging, connectors, sockets, and cables.
Work with silicon, package, and printed circuit board physical design teams on high-speed interfaces and power-integrity layout optimization.
Work with power-supply design engineers and vendors to bring up the power delivery network and characterize electrical performance.
Develop and execute test plans to validate system-level and component-level signal and power integrity, including interconnect channel measurement, SerDes validation and equalization optimization, DDR shmoo validation, and noise-droop measurement.

Desired Qualifications

Familiarity with power-supply circuit design and validation.
Scripting experience in MATLAB or Python.
SerDes/DDR I/O circuit design and validation experience.

Job Description

Consider before submitting an application: This position is expected to start January 2027 and continue through Spring term (ending approximately April 2026). We ask for a minimum of 12 weeks, full-time (40 hours/week) and on-site, for most internships. Our internship program is for students who are actively enrolled in an academic program. 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.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. Multiple Locations Possible: Palo Alto, CA; Austin, TX

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.
