Internship, Actuator Mechanical Design Engineer, Optimus (Winter/Spring 2027)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "What To Expect", "What You'll Do", "What You'll Bring", "Benefits", "Expected Compensation". Also schedule info: start date, duration, full-time, on-site. That could be under "About the role" or "Schedule". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Thus we need sections: About the role (maybe includes description of internship, start date, duration, schedule). Responsibilities (What You'll Do). Requirements/Qualifications (What You'll Bring). Benefits. Pay (Expected Compensation). Possibly Schedule (but schedule info is in About the role). Could separate schedule if we want but we can include schedule details in About the role. We must not create sections with filler. Ensure we have real content. Let's extract content: "What To Expect Consider before submitting an application: This position is expected to start around January 2027 and continue through the entire Spring term (ending approximately May 2027 or later, if available). We ask for a minimum of 12 weeks, Full - Time (40 hours/week) and on-site, for most internships. Our internship program is for students who are actively enrolled in an academic program. Recent graduates seeking employment after graduation and not returning to school should apply for full-time positions, not internships. International Students: If your work authorization is through CPT, please consult your school on your ability to work 40 hours per week before applying. You must be able to work 40 hours per week on-site. Many students will be limited to part-time during the academic year. The Internship Recruiting Team is driven by the passion to recognize and develop emerging talent. Our year-round program places the best students in positions where they will grow technically, professionally, and personally through their experience working closely with their manager, mentor, and team. We are dedicated to providing an experience that allows the intern to experience life at Tesla by including them in projects that are critical to their team’s success. During your internship for the Optimus Actuator Design Team at Tesla, you will be working on interesting new robotic electromechanical actuator designs that power Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robot. We are seeking driven and accomplished engineering student candidates who will thrive in a fast paced and engaging design environment." That's a lot of prose. We'll put under

  About the role

Next: "What You'll Do CAD design of actuator componentsPrototype assembling and testingPython and Matlab test script and actuator model development" We need to format as list items. The text seems to be concatenated without commas. We'll split: CAD design of actuator components; Prototype assembling and testing; Python and Matlab test script and actuator model development. Thus

Likely each sentence separated by capital letter after no space.

  with prose. The line includes "$20.00 - $55.00 + benefits". We'll keep that. We might also include Schedule section? The schedule info is in About the role. Could also create Schedule heading but we already have schedule details in About the role. The instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can keep schedule within About the role. Thus final HTML fragment:
