I was told the first round would be a project presentation and I had prepared my slides. But the manager did not want that. He had made a PowerPoint with questions and we started with that. The questions were mostly about beams (cantilever, simple supported) and material science mostly involving Aluminum and stainless steel. I think the interview was not very difficult but I could not answer all because I had not prepared well.

Pregunta 1
1) cantilever beam with point load, which is the point of high stress.
2) If the same cantilever beam is made of Al or SS, how would the stress profile differ.
Me postulé en línea. Acudí a una entrevista en Tesla (Texas City, TX)
Entrevista
Interview was fine. General design questions of SS curves and mechanics of materials. not hard. definitely know the basics and you will be fine also know general mechanical stuff for automotives

Pregunta 1
difference between steel, aluminum, and mild steel
Started with 2 technical rounds. First one was basic MechE questions. Second round interviewer was in a hurry and not so open to listening your thought process. There were questions on electromechanical concepts as well

Difference in bolt torque in hot and cold conditions
The interview was extremely technical. They didn’t ask for an introduction or any background before immediately diving into solving textbook-style engineering problems. The focus was almost entirely on technical problem-solving rather than behavioral conversation or learning about my experience.
