The interview process for the Robotics Engineer role at Tesla started with two online coding rounds in C++, focused on LeetCode-style algorithmic problems. The questions tested my knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and optimization.

After passing the coding rounds, I was invited for an on-site interview. This began with a resume review, where I discussed past projects and technical details. I then tackled an applied robotics problem, requiring me to break it down and propose a solution. A math problem tested my understanding of robotics-related math, such as linear algebra and calculus.

Finally, I worked through toy problems, explaining, implementing, and testing solutions. Throughout the process, Tesla assessed my technical skills, problem-solving, and communication abilities. It was a challenging but rewarding experience.
