Process

I interviewed for an NCG position at Santa Clara. The first round was talking to a hiring manager from the team with some general questions, including:

  • Introducing yourself
  • Describing your strengths and weaknesses
  • Describing your role and position in a team

The second round occurred in one week. The hiring manager asked for some slides to introduce your previous remarkable projects (introducing the projects that could boost your overall score).

The third round was an on-site interview at Santa Clara. This round was more about behavioral Q&A. I feel like using the STAR method could solve these easily.

Overall suggestions: Be crystal clear about the projects you listed on your resume. Review some basic heat transfer, material mechanics, and some CFD stuff (useful when introducing your previous projects).
