two rounds of interviews both extremely technical, one being your more usual technical questions for MDE, the other being open ended and more confusing to come up with a clear solution for.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you relate the resonance in a spring damper system to a cantilever beam
I applied online. I interviewed at Tesla (Palo Alto, CA)
Interview
I had two interviews so far. The two varied a lot, but one thing in both is true- one tech question at the end.
I have been asked to "go through my resume"/"tell me about yourself". Then usually you talk and they ask based on your experience and projects.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Q1: What variable would you change to decrease the bending of the beam: width or height?
Q2: You have two plates and a bolt connecting them together. There is a nut to tension the bolt. How would the clamping torque change if there was a lubricant on the nut vs. without lubricant?
I applied through university. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA)
Interview
Interview was multi-stage with direct hiring manager and recruiter. Questions focused on technical knowledge for materials and mechanics. Manager stressed a workaholic attitude and no work life balance. Had no interest in candidate only in technical knowledge.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla
Interview
2 technical interviews each 1 hour long. Each time asked a few questions about my past experience, and then went straight into technical questions relating to the role. I got most of the questions correct, but a few I was unsure on

Question 1
