Senior Research Engineer Interview Questions

204 senior research engineer interview questions shared by candidates

Questions related to this role were: -If I have a tank that made out of this braid structure and if my FE simulation has all of these braid inside of it and it will probably take a long time to run (because it has so many elements and it is computationally expendsive), is there an alternative to that? -What do you need to check and make sure that the tank is gonna be ok in high temperature for a long period of time? -If you don't have access to a braiding machine and you can't test the finished braid, how would you be able to go from information on a single fiber all the way up to a braided structure? I also explained some of the projects I did in the past and the interviewer asked detailed questions related to those projects. For example, about the material selection and boundary conditions in my FE models.

General C++ questions: exceptions in constructors / stack unwinding, step-by-step creation of objects (order of constructors & members initialization), virtual inheritance. Specific question - can you use 'auto_ptr' in vectors?

Behaviourals: Explain a time in your previous job - when you disagreed with your manager; - when built effective relationships outside your immediate group that helped the organisation; - when you took ownership of a task that was not your responsibility; - when you had to work to a strict deadline; In each case, examples and lessons learnt were required.
