Electra interview questions

3 stage process: 1) phone call screen with HR to ensure you are a real person 2) technical(ish) video call with a more senior mechanical engineer on the team I was interviewing with (mostly discussed resume; some basic technical questions as well). 3) onsite: Was asked to prepare a presentation about myself along with a previous technical work. Panel of roughly 8 engineers sat in and asked questions about presentation along with technical questions to determine my capability. Difficulty of questions varies dramatically based on the person asking questions, from softball questions to extremely difficult and nuanced questions. Biggest negative to entire process is that getting your name in the door is a random lottery without getting internally referred.

Initial Phone Interview: Introductory conversation discuss background, experience, technical fit, career interests, and alignment with the role and organization. Technical / Video Conference Interview: Virtual interview with hiring manager of the technical team to evaluate technical expertise, research or project experience, communication skills, and overall fit for the position. Onsite Interview: In-person interview involving deeper technical discussions, presentations, team interactions, facility/lab tours.
