Process

I had two interviews, both involving technical questions and inquiries about my experience. These were conducted by two different people from the team I was applying for as an intern/co-op.

I was asked why I am interested in Tesla. I explained sections of my resume in detail and was questioned about decisions I made for projects I was involved in. The interviewers were interested in understanding how much of the work on my resume was genuinely completed by me versus others.

Both interviews concluded with a series of technical questions covering mechanics, materials, vibrations, and fluids. The questions were framed in relation to the structures the team designs.
