I sent in my application online and then had a phone interview. The interview was pretty relaxed, and I mostly got asked general questions. There weren't a ton of technical questions, though I was asked about my background in data management and consolidation. A few parts were a bit stressful, and I didn't know about some concepts, but I think my interviewer was fine with it.

Technical Coding

I got selected from the career fair for this role. The first step was a phone interview, and then an on site interview. The HR usually sets up the phone interview. They call and fix a time for a technical lead to call you about the job. Once it's set up, the lead asks some basic questions to see if you should be brought on site. If you make it to the on site, there are 4-5 rounds where they grill you with hardware questions in various areas. You can mostly expect a round on RF, Analog Design, and Design with Verilog/digital logic.

Behavioral Technical Coding

I interviewed with St. Jude medical and they were super nice and easy to talk to. They really dug into my projects and any experience I had in product development and design. A strong EE or ME background would be a big plus. The interview covered personal info, school projects, some technical stuff, and brain teasers. It was about 30-40 minutes long.

Confirmed questions4 questions
  • Can you explain some basic mechanical engineering principles?
  • What about engineering fit?
  • And statics?
