I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Nov 2023
Interview
I only had two interviews before I received an offer.
1. Interview with senior design engineer going over details of my resume and asking a mix of behavioral and technical questions. Digging into technical aspects of projects I've completed.
2. Interview with who would turn out to be my manager. Basic technical questions surrounding material properties and physics problems. Primary focus on first principles thinking and being detailed in my thought process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Discussed a prior project I worked on in detail. Why did I select certain materials, explain material properties, what I would do differently following results of project?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Berlino) in Apr 2025
Interview
Three interviews, first with HR second and third one with my future supervisor and manager. Information clearly indicated and it didn’t take too long overall (in month from application to job confirmation)
Recruiter call, initial hiring manager screening then panel interview.
Interviewer communicated clearly but didn’t listen and felt disengaged. Then the panel interview was long and intensive and felt well thought through
