I had a Phone screen interview, the recruiter asked about the elevator pitch, why apple, then a lot of beam questions, then stress strain diagram, materials questions. Recruiter was very nice.
The interview process consisted of an initial recruiter screen followed by a hiring manager conversation and multiple team interviews. The process was fairly structured and straightforward, with each stage building on the previous one. The final round included several back-to-back sessions that covered portfolio deep dives, design thinking, and collaboration. Everyone I spoke with was professional, thoughtful, and asked in-depth questions that pushed on both craft and problem-solving.
