Tesla - Mechanical Design Intern

Drive Systems April 2014 - May 2015

Most people in Germany did not understand, why I went to the US for an internship and did not want to work at Volkswagen. In 2014, Tesla was still quite a small company and yet they were and still are the leading electric car producer. As an intern, I was given big responsibilities and was able to grow into a well rounded engineer.

Please note: I am only able to share very limited and mostly public information about my work due to non-disclosure agreements with my previous employer. Please reach out if more specific information on a certain topic are required.
