I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Feb 2022
Interview
Simple process: 2 technical rounds, first round 45 min, 2nd 60 min. Prepare fundamentals of mechanical engineering and be prepared to be asked practical questions. They would try to help you if you get stuck, they would analyze how you get to answer rather than whether you get the correct answer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- Stress-strain curves - Bending moment diagrams - Flexural rigidity - Spring constant of a member - Some questions on practical scenarios
two rounds of interviews both extremely technical, one being your more usual technical questions for MDE, the other being open ended and more confusing to come up with a clear solution for.

Question 1
How would you relate the resonance in a spring damper system to a cantilever beam
I applied through university. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA)
Interview
Interview was multi-stage with direct hiring manager and recruiter. Questions focused on technical knowledge for materials and mechanics. Manager stressed a workaholic attitude and no work life balance. Had no interest in candidate only in technical knowledge.

Interview
2 technical interviews each 1 hour long. Each time asked a few questions about my past experience, and then went straight into technical questions relating to the role. I got most of the questions correct, but a few I was unsure on

Question 1
Stress - Strain Curve. How would you design xyz...?
