I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at MTS Systems
Interview
Met company reps at a university career fair and discussed design work, work experience, etc with two people. The first rep was a weeder and the second was a bit more thorough, the second rep invited me in for a one on one interview. The interview was consisted of mainly designing a simple test rig. Had to define the forces/moments that were to be considered and design a way to recreate the environment in the lab for testing. The interview ended with the interviewer writing down his personal phone/email and explaining that there were no positions open for two weeks (due to an HR error) and I would have to complete their online application at that time. Due to this error I did not pursue this company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What frequency range would you estimate a major bending mode of the test rig to be and how would you deal with it.
It was very through. All day long with many interviews. Many of the questions were very pertinent and engaging. They offered coffee and water. Everyone was very nice and seemed interested in doing a good job.
