J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 5 jours. J'ai passé un entretien chez Tesla (Palo Alto, CA) en oct. 2022
Entretien
Interviewer was friendly and provided me with feedback upon request. Spent most of the time discussing my background and projects. Then it transitioned to material science and mechanics of material style questions.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself? Cantilever Beam? Questions about previous mechanical engineering projects
Started with 2 technical rounds. First one was basic MechE questions. Second round interviewer was in a hurry and not so open to listening your thought process. There were questions on electromechanical concepts as well

Question 1
Difference in bolt torque in hot and cold conditions
The interview was extremely technical. They didn’t ask for an introduction or any background before immediately diving into solving textbook-style engineering problems. The focus was almost entirely on technical problem-solving rather than behavioral conversation or learning about my experience.
Phone screen, Technical foundations test (1 hour, 10 questions on statics, dynamics, E&M, circuits, etc. – sent as PDF and returned via email), technical interviews, on-site behavioral and technical interviews with portfolio presentation.
