I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Mar 2024
Interview
Very technical and never really asked why I wanted to work there or given much information about the specific role. Process looked like 2 technical interviews for me. The first was simple fundamentals while the second went deeper into my past projects with harder technical questions. Had to explain all my engineering decisions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain how you would determine the diameter of a bolt given it is in double shear with a known force.
Three part process, with a phone screen and take home. Talked with two engineers and hiring manager. Lots of physics questions and overview on projects done. Many steps and overall good experience.

Started with 2 technical rounds. First one was basic MechE questions. Second round interviewer was in a hurry and not so open to listening your thought process. There were questions on electromechanical concepts as well
