Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What types of linear position sensors do you know of? how do you think they work?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla in Jan 2023
Interview
One call with the recruiter, then 2 45-minute interviews with the teams. They ask all mechanical-related questions. The process should take about 1-2 weeks since the call with recruiters. For technical interviews, they just jumped right into the questions, which is basically a test with covers statics mechanics, and material properties.
