Technical
Got an interview from an on-campus career fair. Had a 30-minute interview that was simple Mechanical engineering questions from various courses. No behavorial questions or any time to talk to the interviewer besides the questions in this stage.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Can you plot velocity and acceleration given a position graph?

Technical Coding Behavioral
It was a pretty chill and informal interview with a bunch of quick engineering questions. We got some time to think before answering. The topics covered physics, math, computer science, circuits, and more. They weren't super specific, more big picture type questions.
Confirmed questions4 questions
- Can you explain kinematics with speed, position, and acceleration graphs?
- Regarding circuit analysis, what is this component doing in this circuit?
- What is this function doing?

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview process consisted of three rounds. The first two rounds were key for candidate selection, but the final round with the department executive felt unnecessary. They asked many questions unrelated to the job or candidate suitability, like inquiring about the interview process itself. An office tour was given before this last interview, which created a false impression of having secured the job and made the final interview seem like a mere formality. Ultimately, the end of the process felt repetitive and like an avenue for potential bias from the employer.

Technical Coding
Got an on-campus interview after a career fair chat that I didn't think went great. The on-campus interview was virtual, and I had to answer technical questions on a blackboard site. The questions were pretty easy. Then, they invited me for an in-person interview in Chicago. This included a tour, three rounds of technical questions, and lunch. I didn't hear back about the final decision until at least a week after they said I would. Overall, the interviews are way more technical than behavioral. They give you a few problems on paper and expect you to explain how you'd solve them.
Confirmed questions4 questions
- Could you write pseudocode for an algorithm that adds or subtracts a number based on the input?
- Describe the process for designing a confetti cannon that would activate at the finish line of a model racetrack when the first-place car crosses.
- How would you consider potential sources of error, like someone unexpectedly crossing the track near the finish?
