Manufacturing Technician Interview Experience - Hillsboro, Oregon
Process
It was two 30-minute interviews back to back. Each one involved two to four people.
The interviewers were the operations manager and technicians I would then work with.
I liked how it was conducted by other people in similar positions. This allowed for rapport building and asking genuine questions about the job.
I dislike having to go through HR, then a general manager, and finally the direct manager.
Overall, it was a very positive experience!
Questions
One of the 30-minute segments was behavioral, and the other was technical.
The behavioral questions were basic, covering topics like how you work with others and handle conflict.
The technical questions were simple. For example, they might give you the diameter and thickness of a pipe and ask you to find the radius, or they might give you the weight of an empty cylinder and a full cylinder and ask you to find the weight at certain percentages of capacity.

- 3.0Good Team, Unheard VoicesManufacturing Technician • Current EmployeeHillsboro, Oregon, United StatesNovember 16, 2025Pros: Good teammates and workspace.Cons: Higher management doesn’t listen to their employees.
- 3.0Difficult to move up in pay gradesManufacturing Technician • Current EmployeeHillsboro, Oregon, United StatesJanuary 26, 2022Pros: Intel has more benefits than any other company I’ve worked for. As a technician, we receive: Per 2-week pay period: * 3 hours vacation * 3 hours sick time * 110 holiday hours per year (used the same as vacation time) Generous break schedules and low stress (depending on your work group).Cons: It is very difficult to stand out and get a pay grade promotion. The average raise is 2 percent a year, and it is almost impossible to get 3 percent. The job itself is somewhat unsatisfying, and the 12-hour days leave no time to enjoy after work. It can be very boring. The cost of living is insane compared to the salary range. An average 1-bedroom in Hillsboro is now $1500, which is likely going to be more than your take-home pay for one paycheck.
