I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple in Nov 2021
Interview
Applied for entry level positions right out of undergrad and a recruiter hit me about this specific role which was a junior level role. Initial phone screening was standard and got scheduled for an online technical interview. Basic engineering fundamental questions and tougher problems (heat transfer and beam bending). After technical interview, you get assigned a design project to work on for a week. That's as far as I got.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. H beam and I beam bending comparison
2. Resistance modeling for heat transfer
3. 5-6 basic fundamental questions
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple in Jan 2022
Interview
The interview is very intense. The virtual onsite interview takes a whole day with 7~8 meetings with different engineers.
Interviewers are harsh and ask a lot of technical questions, not very nice.

Question 1
How is your research related with real industrial problem?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Apple
Interview
The questions were basic mechanical eng questions, I.e. stress/strain graph, beam bending, etc. I was then given a design challenge and spent two days interviewing back to back. I then presented my challenge. Overall it was good but there was guy on the last day that was a massively rude. He asked me the deflection eqn and then asked me multiple time if I was sure. It had me a bit shaken up and I looked it up later and saw that I was right. If it wasn’t for him I would have liked it more

Question 1
There’s a refrigerator in a closed room. If the refrigerator door is opened would the room get colder or warmer. Explain
