The hiring process went really well, and all the people I spoke with were nice. It started with a phone interview, then a tech talk, and then a few one-on-one interviews. I ended up getting an offer about two weeks later.

It started with a recruiter phone screen, which was pretty basic. They asked me questions about the job requirements. Did not hear back after that. They asked me if I had hands-on experience with equipment troubleshooting and to provide some examples.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
I went through several rounds of interviews for this role. The final interviews were held on-site in San Jose. The interviews involved a mix of behavioral, situational, and technical questions. I also had to do a technical presentation about two difficult problems I've worked on. The interviewers were nice and seemed interested in my answers.

Technical Behavioral
The overall interview process was okay. I had a good conversation with the hiring manager who was very nice and patient. We discussed building a test lab and potential future equipment purchases. However, I haven't received any follow-up or feedback since the interview. The manager seems to have been with the company for a long time without new hires in battery test engineering, suggesting a lack of resources for the team.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Could you describe the battery testing you've performed previously?
- Can you elaborate on your past test experiments in more detail?
