Presentation Technical

First, I gave a quick presentation about the company. Then, they asked me to talk more about my experience from my resume. After that, they threw in a few technical questions. The person interviewing me was super professional and nice, so it was a pretty good interview overall.

Behavioral Technical System Design Presentation

I had two phone screens, one with the recruiter and another with the VP of Engineering. After that, there was a virtual technical session with another mechanical engineer. For the on-site interview, I had to design a mechanism and then present it. I was also asked other technical and systems design problems. The process was pretty fun overall, though I spent more time than I should have on the mechanism design.
