Electrical Engineering Internship - Modeling Validation

What to Expect
Location: Athens, Greece
Duration: 6 months

Time type: Full Time

Start date: Fall 2026

Tesla is seeking an Intern Electrical Engineer at the last year of their MSc studies (preferably at the conclusion thesis), modeling and measuring electric motor problems with focus on actuators. This person will be working as part of the Tesla motor technology team located in Athens, Greece, towards improving motor modeling accuracy, developing test plans and performing measurements in the dyno lab.

What You’ll Do

• Develop new and enhance existing motor characterization dyno tests to derive motor equivalent model parameters, loss maps to train the model
• Perform dyno characterization tests to evaluate the impact of new materials in motor/system performance and efficiency.
• Write experiment sequence code.
• Write simulation code for testing modeling functions in an isolated way for comparison with experimental results
• Archive experimental results to respective databases.

What You’ll Bring

• Fluency in English

• Studies in Electrical Engineering

• Strong mathematical and physics background

• Excellent knowledge of electrical machines theory

• Matlab programming

• Experience in conducting electric/thermal/mechanical/acoustic measurements with high accuracy equipment (power analyzer, oscilloscope etc.)

• Experience with dynamometer layout and Veristand

• The following will be considered as plus:

• Experience in advanced electromagnetics modeling

• Experience running a laboratory or motor test rig

• Experience realizing power electronic boards
