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

  • Work with data collected and transmitted to cloud servers to identify specific issues and the conditions under which those issues arise.
  • Develop analytics dashboards for management review of data like fleet performance / efficiency data, usage metrics, open issues, and requirements validation status.
  • Work with cross-functional engineers to identify signals and triggers beneficial to vehicle data analysis and implement those into the data collection systems.
  • Assist engineers and managers in using the data reporting tools and dashboards created to capture key performance indicators.
  • Support vehicle level testing and validation of functional objectives through our requirement management system.

What You Bring To The Team

  • Pursuit of a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • Must be graduating between August 2026 and May 2029.
  • Must be able to work full-time (40 hours per week).
  • Interest in vehicle communication networks, telematics, and data analysis tools.
  • Experience with or eagerness to learn tools such as Python and Grafana is a plus.
  • Highly adaptable and proactive.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams to achieve common goals.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Comfortable working in both laboratory and vehicle / plant environments.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint).

Physical Requirements

  • Must have the ability to travel (up to 10%).
  • Must have the ability to lift up to 35 pounds.
  • Must have the ability to stand, walk, and perform repetitive tasks for extended periods.
