Process engineer Interview Questions

Convince the technician with all the data you've accumulated OR if that doesn't work, talk to your group leader

Start by assuming the technician is correct...he works with the machine more than you do. Then determine numerically if defective 10% of the time costs more money than it would be to take the tool off the line for the period required for repairs.

should use ice cube.

Hydrate formation Slugging and pressure loss

Pressure loss in the piping, the pumps may need a huge head / energy requirement to push the chemicals through. The different altitudes create a change in the chemical composition, increase vapor pressure which need to be compensated for before being pumped or reacted

No, the water neither rises nor falls. The buoyancy of the ice does not affect the water level, it will raise the water level if you add ice to an already full glass of water, however because ice is lighter than the water (which is the oddity of water as an element versus other elements on the periodic table), the level stays the same.

no, although the ice melts in a certain container if it is floating on a water the volume of ice is already condense on the water itself so water level will never change

no, the water level will remain the same because the displacement of the ice cube is what determines water level,not the volume of the portion of the ice cube that is submerged.

I dont know the best answer to this question myself. I said that in both the cases, the kind of work output from me would be the same and WOULD MEET THE MANAGER'S EXPECTATIONS. It didnot really matter what manager I had. :)

I am using this to prepare for my interview at Intel next week. Here is what I wrote down: "I personally would prefer a manager who is hands off and who expects clear results. That being said I have worked with people with different styles of management and the same people with shifting management styles depending on the deliverables of the team. I think at the end both can get results and you have to understand your manager’s perspective."

All answers were straight forward. The VP is the one who has final say. Be sure to show enthusiasm when talking with him, cause apparently that's all he cares about even when the rest of the team has approved your application.

What else did they ask and expect?

The key in these questions is to cover the fundamentals, and be ready for the back-and-forth with the interviewer. Might be worth doing a mock interview with one of the Tesla or ex-Tesla Process Engineer experts on Prepfully? They give real-world practice and guidance, which is pretty helpful. prepfully.com/practice-interviews
