Interview
Initial HR Screen followed by Technical Interview with the Hiring Manager and the Direct Manager. This was a deep dive into my experience in relation to the job description.
The final round began with a presentation to a panel of four on two projects of my choice that I worked on and can be related to the job duties. This was followed by in-depth grilling by each of the interview panel on their domains of expertise.

Question 1
Questions and the interview process were, in general, focused on my experience. They went as deep as possible in each aspect to test my understanding.
The interview with the Direct manager was a little more general and about physics and design concepts of the Hyperloop in general. This was more fun and less stressful and I learnt a lot as well.
