      Test Engineer/Control Systems Engineer Interview

      13 Apr 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      McKinney, TX
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Traxxas (McKinney, TX) in Apr 2014

      Interview

      I showed up and filled out an application, then I did the cognitive exam. The interview was with 3 people but none identified themselves as my direct supervisor. They had called me for the Test Engineer position, but they decided to also consider me for the Control Systems Engineer position so they asked questions pertaining to both. They also focused on my previous experience. It went ok, but they seem to be looking for someone who has a lot of experience and can wear different hats. The distribution plan is in McKinney, but the engineer will work in a "top secret" location in Plano. I used the job description to brush up on things but they didn't ask for any of that. They also didn't ask me very many questions directly addressing my personality.

      Question 1

      If I want to balance a quadcopter at a certain angle, how would i do that? How would I test the torque of a motor? Why mechanical engineering? Why Traxxas, why now? What was your favorite course in college and why?
