Technical Behavioral
I had a bad phone interview today. The hiring manager was 25 minutes late. When he finally called, he asked me where he should start with technical questions. It seemed like he hadn't read my resume or even looked at it before the call. After I told him my specialty, he asked a question that wasn't really related to my background. I had to tell him again what I've worked on before he asked some relevant questions about electronics, optics, and fiber optic communications fundamentals. The call was only 20 minutes and he sounded unfriendly the whole time. Right after I hung up, the recruiter messaged me saying they decided to move forward with other candidates. I'm not upset.

Technical Behavioral
The interview process began with a written test covering topics like Newton's Law, Work Power + Mechanics, Heat transfer and calorimetry, Thermodynamics and wave optics (theory), Differentiation and Integration (by parts), and Simple R-C Circuit analysis. Your CGPA and AIEEE rank are important for selection. Following that, there was a technical interview where they asked easy questions, mainly simple circuit analysis from basic Electrical Engineering and a few questions from point mass mechanics. They also had a behavioral interview for a bit.
