      Sr. Mechanical Design Engineer Interview

      23 Nov 2024
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Rivian

      Interview

      Met with recruiter first - very friendly, straightforward, and helpful with understanding the scope of the role. We discussed a potential relocation as job would require working from California. Then met with hiring manager for a technical interview - nothing crazy, just going over your background, experiences, what you’re looking to get out of working at Rivian - very friendly and professional call. Was then followed up by a day full of panel + 1:1 half hour conversations with each team member of same or different disciplines. Finally, last interview was with the director of engineering - some technical thought exercise was done, if you know your stuff it should be fairly straightforward. This was finally followed by a verbal offer - the written offer was expected to be 2 weeks out as it goes through a whole approval loop. The whole process in all from initial recruiter call to written offer was about 3 months long.
