I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2020
Interview
It was an initial phone call followed by a design challenge. I didn't make it to the next round, but afterwards it would have been in an person interview at the HQ.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General mechanical engineering concepts like bending beams.
The interview process consisted of an initial recruiter screen followed by a hiring manager conversation and multiple team interviews. The process was fairly structured and straightforward, with each stage building on the previous one. The final round included several back-to-back sessions that covered portfolio deep dives, design thinking, and collaboration. Everyone I spoke with was professional, thoughtful, and asked in-depth questions that pushed on both craft and problem-solving.

Question 1
Tell me about a project where you had to design for multiple iterations
Interview went well nothing strange. I was impressed at the general structure of the interview. I also like the vibe of the interviewer, That's all I have to say about that.
5-6 rounds of interview, design challenge, plenty of tech questions on mechanical basics. The first round was 30 min phone call, then tech interviews with managers, then a design challenge and group interview. The rest depends on team I feel like.
