Three rounds of interviews.

1st round was with a recruiting engineer and focused on my previous experience on my resume, as well as some behavioral questions.

2nd round was with a Senior Engineer who was a lead on a program. I was asked about previous experiences, why I wanted to work for Tesla, and then some technical questions.

3rd round was the same as the 2nd.

I was shown a stress-strain curve for two different metals (steel and aluminum) and was asked to go in depth on the differences and characteristics in the two graphs. I also had to describe what each characteristic meant, such as:

• Young's modulus
• Yield strength
• Ultimate strength

I was also asked how the natural frequency of a steel rod compares to that of an aluminum rod.
