      Mechanical Engineer Interview

      20 Sept 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Menlo Park, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Exponent (Menlo Park, CA) in Aug 2022

      Interview

      It started with an hour-long zoom interview with an associate engineer which was more like a matching process. He asked in-depth questions about my portfolio and research projects. Then two weeks later I talked with the managing engineer but it seems like communication is very important to them. If you fail to explain your research in easy-to-understand terms and confidently, you wouldn't probably move forward. But the two engineers I talked about were both very friendly and down-to-earth.

      Question 1

      Describe to me your core areas of research, your skillset, why you think you are the best person for the job? What are your core skillsets?
