I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Mar 2022
Interview
Started with a short phone screening with the hiring manager and then a technical interview with the team lead. If passed there was a project and further technical interviews with team members.

Question 1
Cantilevered beam bends 10mm and breaks. How to make it stronger?
Expect 5 to 10 rounds of 1 on 1 interviews asking questions of different expects of your experience, case studies and technical knowledge. Best to prepare and schedule ahead. Some reading of mechanical engineer basics is recommended e.g. beams. The most difficult part for me is the design challenge review presentation.

Question 1
If there is a scratch on your product, and all drawing specs are met. what is your next step?
Got an email to do design challenge. Had 24 hours to complete it. Sent it back early but they came back with more questions. i responded to the questions but they told me the job criteria changed so didn't get the job.
