I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks.

The interview process was straightforward and surprisingly friendly. I first spoke with a recruiter who mainly checked my background and interest in the role. Then I had two technical rounds with engineers from the product design team. They asked about my past projects, how I approach modeling decisions, and a few practical FEA scenarios. Nothing felt like a trick question — more like they wanted to understand how I think. Overall, the pacing was smooth and the interviewers were easy to talk to.

One engineer asked me to walk through how I would debug an FEA model that shows unrealistic stress spikes near a fillet in a metal part.
