      Senior Mechanical Engineer Interview

      Oct 16, 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Singapore
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Illumina (Singapore) in Sep 2025

      Interview

      Arranged via a quick call with the HR and then went to the technical interview. I was interviewed by 3 principal engineers and 1 senior staff engineer in 2 separate sessions, Most questions tie back to school fundamental such as creating Free body diagram, what is the glass transition point of a material that I mentioned about, deriving the velocity based on a spring system with a weight on it. I feel that the interview emphasize alot on fundamental or even textbook knowledge where most of I failed to see what will be the actual scope in the company that require me to have these answer on the spot without any reference 1 month pass and I still havent gotten any feedback and reply on my interview outcome
