Process Technology Development Engineer Interview Experience - Portland, Oregon
Process
The interview process was quite straightforward. Intel does a really good job when it comes to interviewing.
There was a presentation for one hour, which was mainly on the research. In this presentation, they try to assess your analytical skills and what kind of approach you take in research.
Some of the questions were quite intense, and the panel asked so many questions that I was unable to finish my entire presentation. Even though the questions might make you furious, remain calm.
After this, there were one-on-one interviews related to technical and behavioral aspects, followed by a tour of the facility and lunch.
Following that, there will be a managerial round, which is like a mix of all these roles. If you know your research well enough, you should be fine.
All the best!
