A new initiative for getting engineering graduates from the University to start a career full time at the Tesla factory has been announced. The company, which has a significant number of engineering technician roles, are offering competitive paying roles and benefits to entry engineers at other companies.
“Programs like this are critical for us to ensure we are getting talented students from our community an opportunity to start and grow their career at Tesla,” said Chris Reilly of Tesla’s Career Development and Education Programs department via email. As part of the program, the company is mapping out an opportunity for individuals to interview for an engineering position after a certain time in the role, and there’s plans to make it an annual tradition at Gigafactory 鶹ӳ.
Tesla will work closely with the Career Services Center at the College of Engineering, lead by director Joseph Bozsik.
“Our goal is to provide an opportunity of stability after college, knowing how challenging the next steps are after graduation and reward the hard work and effort given to earn an engineering degree,” said Roderick Smith, a recruiter for Gigafactory 1. “We are anxious to get this program started and look forward to the collaboration.”
The engineering technician role will allow engineering grads the opportunity to learn and gain relevant experience needed to pursue an engineering career. This position is created to provide training and exposure to accelerate graduates to more prominent engineering roles at Tesla.
