Interview
I only had two interviews before I received an offer.
1. Interview with senior design engineer going over details of my resume and asking a mix of behavioral and technical questions. Digging into technical aspects of projects I've completed.
2. Interview with who would turn out to be my manager. Basic technical questions surrounding material properties and physics problems. Primary focus on first principles thinking and being detailed in my thought process.
