Mechanical Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks.

Received an initial call from a recruiter at Impulse to go over my resume and then was passed onto a technical screen with the hiring manager. The hiring manager was pleasant to talk to and had a lot of questions about my resume. We went into a deep technical conversation about facets of my projects I rarely covered even in my day-to-day. I was told I would hear back soon from the team but never got a call back nor an email.

Questions

Is the coolant you’re working with electrically conductive?

Why did you choose a thermocouple compared to other measurement devices? What other measurement devices could you have used?

How does a thermocouple work?

How does a pressure transducer work? What pressure transducer did you use? What was the mechanism used? How would you design a pressure transducer for use with your experimentation?

In a pressure transducer, what regime in the stress-strain curve of the deformed material need to be?

What type of pressure does a transducer measure?

What type of pressure does a transducer in a pipe measure versus one found on a plane?

What is the voltage out of a standard outlet out of the wall? What is the current?

How would you reduce the conductivity of copper other than the temperature? Can you do anything with the material itself?

What influence does the size of a wire have on conductivity/resistance?

Can you tell me how a three-phase power supply works?

How is an electric motor powered?
