2023-07-17 Tesla x UW Meeting notes

Intro

Everyone

Everyone introduces themselves. Kyle Liechty works with recruiters to work with schools and clubs to set up events to engage with different groups of students. He has reached out to our co-op office already and spoke with people. He doesn’t like organizing

The format of the session

Everyone

The Tesla recruiter team wants to divide the session into two stages:

1. First, Ted-Talk time. There will be presentations/chats from the recruiter members, how did they get hired to Tesla, what they did in College, and etc.

2. Second, Divide and conquer; Participants will split up into smaller groups and each group go to a recruiter that matches with the group’s engineering domain and ask major-related questions (e.g. If there’s an electrical engineer among the recruiters, EE team members go to him and talk.)

A few suggestions made by the call participants:

• Communicating with the leads from different teams.

• Technical deep-dives (e.g. Tips for designing an electrical car)

Time, location, and size of the session

Kyle

Multiple engineers would visit the campus, each from different professions (hardware, EE, firmware, and etc.). Due to internal reasons, we don’t know which engineers are actually coming to visit the campus. The location of the session is yet unknown. Preferably some large place- like idea’s clinic.

• The number of attendees from three teams are roughly estimated to be 100-150 people; and will be divided into groups of 20, roughly.

• The session will take place in the Week of 26th September, specifically at September 28th. All three teams seemed fine with the date. The timeframe of the session is yet unknown, but Kyle mentioned that it would definitely not happen in midday since people will be in class. Then close to evening, I assume.

• Holy shit they are planning to provide us food!
