Process
I had a phone interview that lasted about 30 minutes.
We went over my background and what I had worked on, followed by some general engineering questions to test my knowledge.
It was a very straightforward interview and was about what you would expect.
Questions
General engineering questions that you would see during a statics or mechanics of materials course.
