Candidate-reported interview process

The interview was mostly technical, focusing on Machine Learning, even though it wasn't a required skill for the role. Overall, the interviewer was friendly and tried to help when I was struggling.

It started with a HireVue video interview where I had to answer 3 general questions. After that, I had an interview with the hiring manager and a few engineers where they asked general, behavioral, and motivational questions.

The interview process kicked off with a roughly 30-minute phone chat with an optical engineer. They gave a quick overview of the company and the team. Then, they asked about my background, education, and some projects I've done. We discussed my experience in optical design, simulation, and fabrication. They also asked about my location and team preferences. To wrap up, they outlined potential optical engineer roles that might suit my profile, the timeline for hearing back, and what the next steps in the interview process could be.
