Process
I applied online and received an email from their HR person. I had two phone interviews for screening, and then I was invited for an on-site interview. On-site, I had three interviews, each with two people from their hardware team, for a total of six interviewers.
Questions
Asked me questions about engineering fundamentals, stress-strain, manufacturing processes, etc.
