Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Zebra Technologies.
Mechanical Engineer
First, I had a phone screening with a recruiter from a talent agency. Then, I interviewed with the hiring manager. They initially mentioned the role was remote, but after the interview, they wanted me to work in the office.
- Can you tell me about your experience designing plastic injection molded parts?
- Do you have experience designing stamped sheet metal parts?
Senior Mechanical Engineer
It was a 3 round phone interview process. First with HR, then the hiring manager, and finally coworkers. The first was a quick intro to see if I was a fit. The hiring manager was 20 min late and also asked about my background. The last interview was a tough visual quiz over the phone. They also asked a lot of physics questions, like about final velocity and momentum.
- Could you explain stress locations using free body diagrams?
- Could you explain the physics behind final velocity and momentum equations?
Mechanical Engineer Intern
The first interview was online, where I had to answer HR questions by recording myself on video after a short thinking time. The second interview was a phone call where the hiring manager asked me technical questions.
- Could you tell me what you know about Zebra Technologies?
- Regarding the kinematic equations, which one would you use to calculate the time it takes for a ball to hit the ground after being kicked off a cliff?
- If the coil diameter of a spring is limited within a tube, what properties of the spring can be altered?
