I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Palo Alto, CA) in May 2025
Interview
Interviews:
2 online rounds and then 6 virtual-onsite rounds.
-> Prep DSA
-> Classical Robotics concepts(ranging from tf's ->SLAM->PathPlanning etc) .
My rounds included :
- coding a multi-robot functionality,
- DP ques
- Deep-dives on Robotics & ML concepts
3 45 min rounds virtual, mix of technical data structures and algorithms style questions and behavioral questions. Around leetcode medium difficulty, strings and array based. Short talk about what the team does.
Remembering the coding question about finding a peak element gives me a sense of relief. It was nearly the same as one I had practiced on PracHub a few days prior. The interview process began with a recruiter screening my resume, followed by a technical phone interview where we discussed data structures and algorithms. The onsite included two additional rounds focusing on coding and behavioral questions. Overall, the experience was straightforward, and I felt well-prepared, ultimately leading to an offer that I happily accepted.
2 Technical Coding Screen, followed by onsite. Interesting problems and role related. Friendly recruiting coordinator. On site - in person, several rounds, includes presentation and question & answers. Highly role related and based on past experiences.
