I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Athens, Athens, Attica) in Oct 2024
Interview
Typical 3 stage interview process. The first stage was a get to know and we went over my cv. The second one was more technical and over the specific role i applied. After that they gave me a project to complete. The third and final interview was on site.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me about previous experience on large projects and to guide them through my thinking process
Started with 2 technical rounds. First one was basic MechE questions. Second round interviewer was in a hurry and not so open to listening your thought process. There were questions on electromechanical concepts as well
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Difference in bolt torque in hot and cold conditions
The interview was extremely technical. They didn’t ask for an introduction or any background before immediately diving into solving textbook-style engineering problems. The focus was almost entirely on technical problem-solving rather than behavioral conversation or learning about my experience.
Phone screen, Technical foundations test (1 hour, 10 questions on statics, dynamics, E&M, circuits, etc. – sent as PDF and returned via email), technical interviews, on-site behavioral and technical interviews with portfolio presentation.
