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.

I went through two interviews: The first interview was about the dynamics and strength of materials like stress-strain curve, free body diagram. The second interview was focused on FEA, the types of analysis, implicit or explicit, meshing process,..
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Explain the stress-strain curve What is shear locking?

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.
They gave me a take home tolerance analysis worksheet. It was essentially a tolerance stack up for one of their products and felt fairly straight forward. Thought I answered it well but ultimately they decided to move forward with other candidates.
