Description For Internship, Technical Program Manager, Vehicle Engineering (Summer 2025)

Tesla is offering an exciting internship opportunity for Summer 2025 in their Vehicle Engineering division, specifically focusing on Technical Program Management. This role is perfect for engineering students who are passionate about sustainable energy and automotive innovation.

The position offers a unique opportunity to work at one of the world's leading electric vehicle and sustainable energy companies. As an intern, you'll be integrated into critical projects that directly impact Tesla's success, working across various engineering teams including Battery Engineering, Drive Systems, Exteriors, and Interiors.

The role demands a systems-level thinker who can navigate complex technical challenges while coordinating across multiple teams. You'll be responsible for enabling the company to deliver customer value by managing priorities, executing on product commitments, and ensuring quality standards are met. This position is particularly unique as it sits outside the traditional engineering hierarchies, allowing for independent oversight and objective problem-solving.

What makes this opportunity special is the real-world impact you'll have. You'll be working on actual Tesla products and features, not just theoretical exercises. The internship provides comprehensive hands-on experience in program management within the automotive industry, with exposure to cutting-edge electric vehicle technology and sustainable energy solutions.

The compensation is competitive, ranging from $20-$50 per hour, plus an extensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k), and various other perks. The internship requires a minimum 12-week commitment, with possibilities for extension into Fall 2025.

This is an ideal opportunity for students pursuing engineering degrees who want to combine technical expertise with program management skills while contributing to Tesla's mission of accelerating the world's transition to sustainable energy. The role offers invaluable experience in a fast-paced, innovation-driven environment where your work will have a direct impact on the future of sustainable transportation.
