Entrevista
First you take an online Personality assessment, then if accepted, you get interviewed in person at the Hinckley site. If you do well, then you reach the last interview with a senior engineer. However, I didn't get to do the second interview.
Know the basics of thermodynamics, materials, manufacturing and components involved in a motorcycle.
Don't stress too much, the engineers are welcoming and really makes you feel at ease. Do your best and good luck!

Entrevista
Pretty straightforward. Asked me about my journey so far. Why do I have a passion towards mechanical and automotive engineering. Followed by what my project was about which then lead to questions about it such as how did I go about any difficulties I might have faced. Then they asked me simple engineering/machine design questions and then handed a bike part to me and asked me questions regarding it's manufacturing process, materials used, reasons behind it having a hole at a certain place and how I could possibly improve it.

The entire process took 5 months from the start of application to the final interview. Online assessments: general mechanics of structures questions, and behavioural assessments. First and second interview: mainly assessing your ability of understanding how parts are designed for manufacture.

First interview: - asked about background, uni, CV, experiences, etc. - given a motorbike part and ask how it's made and why (made from aluminium) - given another motorbike part and asked to explain how it's made and asked why a specific feature of the part was made that way (made from plastic) Second interview: - given 3D renders of a motorbike, and within an hour asked to design a fully working part to act as a mount for a component on the bike. - mainly assessed on how you understand the overall environment, forces that act on the mount, foolproof ideas for customers to install the mount, how it will be manufactured, etc. (essentially creating a part from scratch until it would be a working, although not perfect, and manufacturable part) with little to no guidance. - second hour of the interview is spent to present this idea to the chief engineer and main objective is to see if you can communicate the idea you have just came up with in a fluent manner to someone who had no idea what you have just done.
