I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Tesla (Sparks, NV) in Jan 2026
Interview
Very professional, and well-paced interview process, 4 rounds interview in total, with 1 panel interview with the team. Recruiter is super helpful during the process, and the team seems well communicated with each other.
2 rounds. both with one engineer. very resume review and technical question heavy. Asked a lot of typical materials and beam deflection/stress-strain questions. Try to answer confidently as best as possible. Passed first round but second round threw me off and wasnt as confident.
I applied online. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Feb 2025
Interview
Had my interviews around February 2025. First round was a recruiter screening, where we went over my resume and experience briefly, as well as what the next stage of the interviews is.
Second interview was a technical round. I was expecting the typical DSA round, but was surprised that it was a deep dive into Java. The interview was pretty much consistent questions about the java language, internals, how GC worked, when to use "static", etc. etc.
