Hardware Test Engineer Interview Experience - Atlanta, Georgia
Process
So, I originally applied for HWTE position at Apple, but was interviewed for Vibration Controls Engineer. I told the interviewer that this is not what I was asked I would be interviewed for, but he went ahead nonetheless. Then he bombarded all sorts of questions related to vibrations and controls, which I was able to answer, but it took me some time to get in the 'zone'. Overall, it was not a good experience.
Questions
Explain the physics of vibrations.
