I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Tesla
Interview
Pretty simple. 1 round was speaking with the recruiter about background and fit. Then 2nd round was speaking with 2 engineers on the team and basically asking star questions. It took a while to hear back the overall process took around 4 months.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in May 2026
Interview
About 4 rounds of interviews: initial phone screening, 1 on 1 with hiring manager, panel interview and following up with a project presentation. I got to the 2nd round and ultimately rejected. They will dive deep into your experiences so be sure to know them like th back of your hand.
Normal panel interview and also with team members and managers as 1:1 overall it is very typical what you can expect and the process is very straightforward they will also ask some behavioral question
First, had phone screening to go over the role, team, and interviewing stages. Then, had a follow up remote interview with one of the team members that dived more into the technical aspects and expectations of the role.
