ABOUT SLATE
At Slate, we’re building safe, reliable vehicles that people can afford, personalize and love—and doing it here in the USA as part of our commitment to reindustrialization. The spirit of DIY and customization runs throughout every element of a Slate, because people should have control over how their trucks look, feel, and represent them.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
We're looking for curious, driven students who want real hands-on experience building something that matters. Slate interns aren't fetching coffee—they're working alongside experienced engineers, designers, and operators who are standing up a new American vehicle manufacturer from the ground up.
If you're studying engineering, manufacturing, business, design, supply chain, IT, or a related field and want to see how a startup actually builds a vehicle company, we want to hear from you. We hire interns across a wide range of disciplines and are especially interested in meeting students at this event who are eager to learn, contribute, and grow with us.
WHAT YOU GET TO DO:
Work on real projects that directly support Slate's mission—not busy work.
Partner with experienced mentors and cross-functional teams to solve meaningful problems.
Get exposure to how a fast-moving, mission-driven manufacturing company actually operates, from concept to production.
Take ownership of deliverables and see the impact of your work firsthand.
Build your professional network within the automotive and manufacturing industry.
Learn directly from leaders across engineering, operations, and business functions.
Grow your skills in a culture that values initiative, curiosity, and continuous improvement.
WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TEAM:
Education Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, Business, Design, Supply Chain, Information Technology, or a related field.
Experience No professional experience required—we're looking for potential, not a resume. Relevant coursework, projects, clubs, or prior internships are a plus.
Skills

Solid communication and collaboration skills.
Comfort working with ambiguity and figuring things out along the way.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office or similar tools.
