Process
Applied online and received an interview request.
The interview was with the hiring manager and a thermal mechanical engineer, mainly focused on heat exchangers. I did not have the required level of experience with that, so I ended up not moving to the second round.
Questions
Basics of Heat Exchangers, then moving onto follow-up questions.
