      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at DCA Design (Warwick, West Midlands, England)

      Interview

      The process involves some basic HR questions, elaborating upon your resume experience. They then ask you some technical calculations and mechanism design problems. They also provide you a basic device and ask you to explain how it works.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Design a mechanism that can convert horizontal linear motion to vertical linear motion
      Answer question
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at DCA Design (Warwick, West Midlands, England) in Jul 2023

      Interview

      Take home assessment before interview stage. 3 questions which were quite difficult. Did not reach interview stage, withdrew my application. Not worth the hurdles they make you jump for such a low salary.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1) If rain is falling vertically at 2m/s velocity, would a typical person get wetter if they walk slowly or faster between two points a fixed distance apart? Would wearing a brimmed hat help and would its benefit be dependent on the walk speed? 2) Have to sketch a linkage for a torsion spring arrangement that will achieve a certain function. Diagram given. 3) A liquid dispenser needs to dispense liquid through a nozzle at a constant rate. The liquid is held in a long flexible thin-walled polythene bag and is compressed by a spring-loaded platen with a force F. Form an equation that expresses the force F that is needed to generate a pressure P in the bag when the platens are separated by a distance d. To achieve the required constant dispense rate, the bag pressure P must remain constant. This means that the platen force F must increase as the bag empties. Sketch out a possible spring actuation system that would aim to achieve this.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Design as many mechanisms to convert horizontal motion to vertical motion in a 3:1 ratio as you can in the given timeframe.
