      NPI Engineer Interview

      Aug 10, 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Corvallis, OR
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. I interviewed at HP Inc. (Corvallis, OR) in May 2017

      Interview

      Phone screening -> All day on sight interview with a tour and wrap up interview: The phone screening was difficult and caught me off guard. I then interviewed in Corvallis where they told me I would be applying to several different jobs at once. I interviewed in 30-minute increments with 5-6 different people with a lunch and tour in the middle of the day. Most of the questions were technical and a majority of the staff was friendly. Some of the technical questions were challenging and related to problems they were working on. They would ask "we have this issue going on. Here is the data/equipment we are using. What kind of information or patterns can you draw from this?" Or "How would you MFG this product and its different pieces if you needed to build X amount of them a year?" I can't give a specific thing to study up on because it was super broad in what they asked. As a mechanical engineer, they asked me mostly general things (heat transfer, mechanics of materials, dynamics, material selection, physics, etc.) that I knew most of. I would just say to be well rested before you go in for the all day interview and order a light lunch. By the end of the day, around 430pm, I had my last interview and my brain was totally fried. In the end, they did tell me I didn't get the position which was nice but I asked for feedback and they didn't respond. It seems like they are trying to help young engineers get connected in the company and in the area but if you are looking for a hip scene Corvallis doesn't have much to offer. The campus is HUGE and really nice. Overall the process was positive and a good experience even though nothing came of it.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Questions about how to tell if a pump was actually working Why would you design a part this way (show you part) Tell me about what you did on this (internship/project on resume) How would you design this part or why is the current design flawed If you had a box with shafts doing some mechanical motion on the outsides, what would you need to have inside the box to achieve this design (gears, pistons, pulleys etc) Heat transfer stuff
