Entretien
Met hiring manager at campus career fair. Was contacted a week later for phone interview with hiring manager. A week later phone interview with potential direct supervisor. Design challenge, due in 2 weeks. Submitted, went back and forth 2-5x for feedback with the same hiring manager. Added PD stuff like FEA, GD&T, assembly/manufacturing plan, etc. Invited to onsite in the Bay Area office. Day 1 had about six back to back interview, ranged from 1-2 MechE/PM's/Electrical/Managers. Was asked questions ranging from EE, DFM/DFA plastic design, thermals, behavioral (from the PM's and hiring manager), reverse engineering. Same evening, recruiter called to notify that I was moving forward to day 2 (yes you can be eliminated after day 1). Day 2 presented design challenge to entire team. Relaxed environment. Lunch before the presentation. Pro tip: keep watch for the time. A week later, I followed up, no offer. Feedback was provided.
Overall, amazing learning/challenging experience. Very thorough.

i had my interview today and was asked the same question. also similarly, the interviewer had no sense of humor. it was not a enjoyable experience because i think i gave like 3-4 different ways of making a cantilever, but i was asked "what else?" like 10 times for the cantilever problem alone. i also have 7 years of work experience, but there was 0 question asked about it.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
What causes corrosion, and how do you design to mitigate it?
The interview went well overall. The interviewer opened with a discussion about a project I'm proud of, then a beam scenario question that covered structural and load analysis, stress and deflection, and material selection — testing my ability to connect first-principles thinking across the full problem space.

Interview with hiring manager then virtual onsite. They ask you general mechanical engineering questions as well as questions dependent on type of team and skills they are looking for. Not bad overall just brush up on basic beam deflection, GD&T, Design analysis etc.
