Stamping Process Engineering Internship (m/f/d) - Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg

Description

Location: Gigafactory Berlin-Brandeburg

Duration: 6 months

Time type: Full-time

Start date: November / December 2026

Tesla was founded in 2003 with the goal of accelerating the transition to sustainable energy and protecting the planet Earth. Through solar energy, batteries, and electric vehicles, we are building a world of amazing abundance.

At Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg, we manufacture the Model Y, and starting in 2027, we’ll produce everything from battery cells to electric vehicles. This is unique in Europe. Our international team consists of over 12,000 employees from 130 countries. We hire talent at all skill levels - prior experience in the automotive industry is not required. Would you like to help write the next chapter in Tesla’s success story and work at one of Germany’s most modern workplaces? Then this is the right place for you!

As a Stamping Intern, you’ll support Stamping process engineering, shopfloor organization, and continuous improvement of high-volume stamping operations. You’ll work closely with experienced engineers, technicians, and cross-functional teams to gain hands-on insight into press performance, tooling, material flow, and data-driven problem solving. 

Your contributions will help improve equipment reliability, scrap, and shopfloor standards while you build practical experience in automotive stamping. We are looking for motivated students to join our team, learn from more senior engineers, and help build Tesla’s future together. 

Responsibilities

• Support regular downtime and scrap data analysis, helping identify priorities and improvement actions under the guidance of senior engineers. 
• Assist in monitoring vibration and press forces on tandem lines and keep related tracking lists up to date. 
• Help organize the tooling spare part area and create a spare part inventory list. 
• Assist Process Engineering with document migration to an Work Instruction Management System. 
• Support with location updates in Spare Part Management System and support Pilot for AI (Artificial Intelligence) identification of parts. 
• Help improve shopfloor layout, including FIFO (First-In First Out) based on coil and blank locations and quarantine area setup. 
• Prepare slides for project updates, spend reviews, and management reports. 
• Gain knowledge of tandem press operations, tooling management, and stamping process engineering in a high-volume production environment. 

Requirements
