Applied online and was contacted by a recruiter soon after.

They asked about my interests and sought to gauge my personality, as well as posing very basic first-principle questions.

Next, I had a technical phone interview with a team member, another team member, and finally the hiring manager. We discussed project and work experience, along with brief technical questions to test my knowledge as listed on my resume.

Following this was the on-site interview, which included a brief tour of the facility.

This was followed by a presentation of a difficult project lasting an hour, which was half presentation and half questions. They stopped to ask questions during the presentation to truly understand my thought process and proposed alternative solutions that I had to evaluate the effectiveness of.

Lastly, I had six one-on-one, half-hour interviews. They briefed after the presentation, as each interviewer focused on asking different things.

These varied from hypothetical questions and additional resume walks to discussions on how I work as a person and physically bringing in parts with drawings to ask questions.

They will grill you, so be confident and know your stuff. I received an offer an hour after I left.

Described a basic part with some features and asked me to walk him through taking raw stock to a final product, including machine choice, fixturing, and tooling choice.
