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 are seeking interns to do hands-on, real-world work that directly contributes to the performance, comfort, and refinement of our vehicles. Your work will support the development, testing, and optimization of vehicle performance and functionality attributes across multiple systems and components.

This role combines organizational and analytical skills while working with cross-functional engineering groups such as Electrical, Powertrain, and Vehicle Integration to increase efficiency of lab operations. This is a hands-on position where you will develop and implement a lab inventory management tool and deploy it within the electronics lab.

| WHAT YOU GET TO DO

  • Set up and test a selected inventory management system for the parts and supplies used for prototype vehicle development, testing, and repair.
  • Take control of existing stock and organize/classify it for use within the inventory management system.
  • Train lab management and users on efficient usage of the system as well as best practices for storing, adding, or replenishing inventory
  • Develop reporting capabilities for stock levels and recommendations for reorders

| WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TEAM

  • Pursuit of an associate’s or bachelor’s degree in operations, supply chain management, logistics, engineering, or a related field
  • Must be graduating between August 2026 and May 2029
  • Able to work full-time, 40 hours per week
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills
  • Comfortable working in both laboratory and vehicle/plant environments
  • Experience with inventory management is a plus
