I was called on a weekend by the hiring manager to set up an interview for the following Monday. The hiring manager asked me about my experience with Solidworks. When I got to the Windsor location, I waited a bit before the hiring manager had me sit at a computer. He gave me a drawing of a part with dimensions and asked me to create it in Solidworks, saying it was a basic part using fundamental Solidworks concepts. He emphasized knowing how to use the hole wizard and matching the part's dimensions exactly from the specified reference line or plane. He also mentioned that if you understand the basics of product design, the interview should be straightforward.

The interview was quite simple and not difficult. There was a technical test that lasted for 4 hours. Following that, I had a 1:1 interview with the former center manager, Mr. Mathias Pettersson. He was a really great guy, actually the best manager I've ever encountered.

Technical Behavioral

First there was an aptitude test in college. After passing that, I had an HR and a Technical interview. If I cleared those, I had another technical interview and an HR round a few days later where they asked basic technical questions about Gears and Engines, and also about metallurgy.
