I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla in Jun 2021
Interview
First interview was very casual and was designed to evaluate relevant project experience from the mechanical engineering field. Was mostly asked about my location and willing to relocate and desired salary.

Question 1
Difference in bolt torque in hot and cold conditions
The interview was extremely technical. They didn’t ask for an introduction or any background before immediately diving into solving textbook-style engineering problems. The focus was almost entirely on technical problem-solving rather than behavioral conversation or learning about my experience.
