I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla in Aug 2019
Interview
I was asked about side projects and general technical questions. Took a technical timed take-home written test as well, that spanned a variety of mechanical engineering topics. Test was overall average in difficulty, as it contained some topics that I hadn't covered since school.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Tesla
Interview
Several Interviews, asks mechanical engineering concepts questions. Would review structural concepts such as cantilever beams. Review how they act when different loads are put on them. Interview was very technical, asked about experiences and then engineering concepts.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Where would this cantilever beam break with the applied load on it.
initial phone interview with a company recruiter, preliminary virtual interview with team lead, 4-5 question technical exam, secondary team lead interview to inform about next steps, project presentation & 5 interviews with team members.
