      CAE (Crash/Durability/NVH) Interview

      Mar 30, 2025
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Fremont, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Nov 2024

      Interview

      I had three rounds of interview. First video conference was with team lead and covered Basic introduction of the candidate, company and the interview process. Second round was a 1 hour written test - questions were emailed. Very interesting but moderate technical questions that a crash engineer would resolve on a day to day basis. Most of the questions were very much related to the underlying theory in phyiscs, mechanics of materials and structural dynamics. Third round was with a material modeler - deep into material behaviors, material data, its role in an FEA model, failure theories, etc., Over all the interview process was one of the most technical that I have come across but at the same time very interesting.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The interviewer showed me a 3x3 matrix of a stress element and asked me which index of the matrix will I pay attention to for the failure of a thermoplastic vs a brittle metal.
