I applied through their internal job portal and within two weeks, I received a "Hirevue" interview. Basically, you answer pre-recorded questions via a live feed camera. This was the first one I had ever experienced, and it was surprisingly uncomfortable.

Next, there was an onsite interview with a panel. They mostly asked about my work experience and some technical questions related to large GT components and how to manufacture/machine them. The questions they asked deviated from a normal SQE position.

After another week, I was called in for another onsite interview with a different panel. This was a heavy technical interview regarding how to manufacture large gas turbine components, including the types of machinery, welding parameters, and GD&T required. Again, this was very different from the job requisition of an SQE.

I didn't receive any notification but checked my profile and was not selected.

My guess is they are having trouble with their newly sourced suppliers (cost reductions) and want a mechanical engineer to come in and tell the supplier how to make their components, all the way to programming their milling machines.

How would you make this part (ring gear)?

What type of machine would you use to cut this part?

Given several positional and concentric GD&T questions related to different datums and how to measure a large part.

Given several welding AWS code questions and acceptable weld via weld symbology.
