Process
The interview was thorough and focused more on fundamentals. For a solar cell engineer position, prepare for questions on manufacturing and characterization processes.
Be thorough on what you have learned. Even if you only learned a few techniques, that is okay, but you need to know them thoroughly.
The interview was tough, and you should expect difficult questions on all the basics of manufacturing and characterization techniques.
