First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Solar Turbines.
Manufacturing Engineer
The Hiring Manager reached out to me after reviewing my resume. The first call was with the HM, and we talked about the company, my interests, and my experience. The next round was a group interview with the HM, a Sr. MFG Eng, and the facility's Op. Mgr. The whole process was pretty straightforward, and the team was upfront about the timeline and what they expected.

Manufacturing Engineer
I applied online in late June. In the first week of August, I received an email to schedule an initial phone interview. This call was about 20 minutes long and covered basic topics like my application process and why I'm suited for the role. The recruiter mentioned they'd forward my application to the engineering team for further review and I'm still awaiting word on a potential next interview.

Manufacturing Engineer
I had a phone interview where they used the STAR interview method. It was my first time with STAR, but it was pretty straightforward. They asked me about my coursework and extracurriculars. They seemed to be only interested if I was in Baja/Formula SAE and I did not have much room to discuss other club involvement that I thought was relevant to the position.
- What clubs were you a part of?
