I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Palo Alto, CA) in Jan 2025
Interview
Ask them a lot of technical questions, using products they have worked on (or projects you have specifically sought out based on their experience) to come up with three to four big questions.

Question 1
How do capacitors work here, and what is their function? What can be used as a replacement? How can their data be measured?
I had 2 initial screenings then a final one with engineers. First two were easy with the last covering more technical details and lasted a couple hours it felt like.
