I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Palo Alto, CA) in Feb 2025
Interview
It was good, my interviewer asked basic EE and DSA questions. Make sure to prepare your fundamental concepts well since the sill ask conceptual questions. However, interviews at tesla are very team dependent
Questions about the projects, then some concept questions like stack/heap. And a very simple coding question. They wanted to know if you really know the concept of memory management as this is very cruical for low-level designs.
