Mechanical Design Engineer Interview Experience - Redmond, Washington
Process
I first had an on-campus interview after a career fair. We talked about my classes, projects, and research, and I was asked a simple design question.
They then flew me out to Redmond for an afternoon of interviews. I met with four individuals from different teams separately for 15-30 minutes each. I was asked various mechanics and thermal questions.
