Technical Case Behavioral Presentation
I had three video interviews. The first was with someone from corporate, where we talked about a hypothetical process and different manufacturing processes. The second interview involved a technical chat and a role play. The last interview was with HR, the hiring leader, and the office manager.

Technical Behavioral
It was a two-part interview. The first part was about 1-2 hours long, and then there was a second interview that was split into two parts and lasted 3 hours. The questions were more conceptual and really tested critical thinking instead of the typical interview questions. You needed to know about manufacturing processes, materials, and assembly.
Confirmed questions4 questions
- Can you take apart a pen and describe how each component was designed and manufactured?
- Do you have knowledge of general technical and engineering concepts?
- Describe the assembly and manufacturing steps for one of our dimmer switches.

Behavioral Technical Coding Case Presentation
The recruiting team reached out for a Senior Supply Chain Engineer role, but then suggested I was a better fit for New Product Manufacturing Engineer, mentioning PFEP experience. The interview process started with a recruiter call and phone screening, followed by a hiring manager phone screen. After that, I had to take a 2-hour Caliper test and a GPA verification, which was a bit of a hassle as they couldn't initially convert my Indian GPA. The onsite interview involved technical questions, some unrelated to my background (like electrical engineering for a mechanical/industrial role), thermodynamics questions about natural convection, and a case study about a failing switch. They also had a Round 2 where you troubleshoot a problem with hints. Despite answering all technical questions, I didn't get an offer.

- What are your career aspirations for the next five years?
