Entrevista
Applied and about 2 weeks in a recruiter contacted me for a preliminary call, technical questions asked by the recruiter.
1) what type of beam would you chose to carry a load and why?
2) what material would you make this beam ?
3) For a flagpost with a vertical load, what failure mode would you expect?
4) what is the minimum information that you need to determine the failure point?
After the interview with the recruiter, I was scheduled with a manager for a technical interview
Preguntas de entrevista [1]
Pregunta 1
Interview with the manager
1) For a beam that is attached to the wall on the two end where would you expect the failure mode to occur?
2) what if you had rollers instead being fixed to the wall, would the failure mode change?
3) what are the three modes of heat transfer?
4) Which of the three heat transfer is the most effective?
5) can you describe an application where radiation would be the most effective?
6) how are beams manufactured?
7) if you had a bolt you had to set the torque spec for what information would you need?
8) what is the relation between stress and strain?
9) can you describe the behavior of stress vs strain?

Entrevista
Asked technical questions regarding basic college engineering fundamentals, asked engineering portfolio questions regarding previous internship and project experiences, and asked hypotheticals based on what areas were owned on those projects.
First was with a lead engineer (technical), then with a recruiter (behavioral), then with another lead engineer (technical), future would have been on site. It was a very accelerated timeline and fast process.

Multiple rounds of interviews ending with an all day onsite interview. Asked questions about background, classic textbook problems, and coworker interactions. Very technical and difficult. Lots of time spent trying to understand your thought process
