The professor gave me an introduction to the project. After that, I introduced myself. Then a research engineer joined and asked me about my background and experience. The overall interview was pleasant. Since I had the experience the professor was looking for, the interview felt comfortable. The professor is very nice. The conversation revolved around the project I would be joining and how I could contribute to it.
