Aerothermal Engineer Interview Experience - Palo Alto, California
Process
The interview was for a CFD position, but the questions focused more on electrical engineering. CFD questions related to pipe networks, where I only have limited experience.
My fluid dynamics experience is primarily in external aerodynamics and heat transfer.
I was initially told the interview would not be technical, but I was only asked technical questions. This was a very deceptive interview process.
I do not think they read my resume completely.
Questions
Lots of basic (freshman-level) electrical engineering questions.
