Internship Program at TeslaThe 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 provide an experience that allows the intern to experience life at Tesla by including them in projects that are critical to their team's success. Join Tesla's Power Systems Modeling team and help solve real-world grid integration challenges for Megapack battery energy storage systems (BESS). As a Power Systems Modeling Intern, you will develop and validate power system models, perform grid compliance and stability studies, and work alongside industry-leading engineers advancing the deployment of inverter-based resources worldwide.
Location: Palo Alto, CAResponsibilitiesDevelop and maintain RMS and EMT models for inverter-based resources, including utility-scale battery energy storage systems Perform steady-state, dynamic, and grid compliance studies using industry-standard simulation tools and Python-based workflows Evaluate the impact of inverter-based resources on bulk power systems and microgrid performance and stability Support model validation activities through comparison of simulation results with test data and engineering expectations Collaborate with cross-functional teams to investigate control design, grid integration, and system performance challenges
Requirements:
  • Currently pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Energy Systems or related field
  • Strong foundation in power system analysis and classical control theory
  • Hands-on experience with dynamic modeling and simulation of inverter-based resources
  • Knowledge of grid-forming and grid-following inverter controls and their application in large-scale energy storage systems
