Mechanical Design Engineer Interview Experience - Wilton, Connecticut

Process

I got called one day for an impromptu phone interview, and I really enjoyed talking to the engineer. He asked basic thought and design questions to see how you think.

Then I got scheduled for a second phone interview, and this one was way more technical. It was pretty in-depth, figuring out stresses and best ways to mount and test a cantilever beam. For someone who took the class four years ago, it was pretty tough.

The reason why I am leaving a negative review is the fact that I went through two phone interviews and then radio silence. I tried contacting HR multiple times but never got a reply.

For the number of jobs that they post and the interviews they make you do, I feel like they should at least have the common courtesy of telling you if you were still being considered for the position or not, especially when you email them.

Questions

Cantilever beam. What are the reactionary forces and moments with a load on the end?

What's the optimal design shape for the beam?

In an I-beam, being held up by 2 bolts on the top, what are the shear forces acting on them?

etc.

Was this helpful?
