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 a motivated and enthusiastic Prototype Engineering Intern to join our team for Fall 2025 (September to December). Ideal candidates are eager to gain hands-on experience in a fast-paced manufacturing and fabrication environment. This opportunity is perfect for individuals who prefer active, on-your-feet work over a traditional desk role. We're looking for candidates interested in a full-time, immersive internship experience at an innovative and rapidly growing startup.

| WHAT YOU GET TO DO

  • Collaborate closely with our team of Engineers and Engineering Technicians to support ongoing projects.
  • Develop hands-on experience in fabricating and reworking prototype components.
  • Receive training in welding, metal stamping, and the operation of various manufacturing equipment.
  • Gain practical experience with industry-standard tools and software, including CATIA, Polarion (for project management), and CANalyzer.

| WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TEAM

  • Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's degree program in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
  • Minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0.
  • Willingness and ability to work onsite in Orion, MI, five days per week.
  • Strong interest in gaining or expanding hands-on experience in a fabrication and manufacturing environment.
  • Ability to interpret and understand engineering drawings and technical documentation.

WHY JOIN TEAM SLATE?

We're fueled by grit, determination, and attention to detail. Slate's start-up spirit of ingenuity and resourcefulness moves our business forward. Team Slate fosters a culture of excellence, innovation, and mutual respect, and is motivated by shared principles.
