I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at CAE (Montreal, QC) in Jan 2019
Interview
I applied for the position online and was reached out by a Recruiting company (Belcan).
After two iterations with the recruiter, I was directly invited for an in-person interview (no phone interview was requested).
The interview was composed of
1- a small programming written question (to write a pseudo code from a given scenario)
2- technical questions regarding aircraft flight control
3- behavioral questions
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Written programming question
A control scenario was given with all details, I was supposed to put it into a pseudo code. The purpose was to see my coding logic. No knowledge of flight control was needed.
Technical questions about aircraft flight control including rotating angles (pitch, yaw, roll), how does an airplane increase its lift, how does changes its angles (pitch, yaw, roll), etc. What are the functions of flaps, spoliers, etc.
Behavioral questions
My experience at my current and previous jobs, why do I consider to change job, describe a conflicting experience, client facing, etc.
