I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Apple (Champaign, IL) in Sep 2014
Interview
I applied through University Career fair and got a on-campus interview. I was the first one in line and talked to them with power-point slice of the former project i have done. I also told them that i was referred by my friend who interned there. And they seemed to be very interested in it, then asked me to come for on-campus interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe the how you would test what material is made from the remote control of the Apply TV?
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 applied through college or university. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Apr 2026
Interview
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.
