I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Tesla (Palo Alto, CA) in Dec 2024
Interview
It was a simple phone call, asked some technical question and I asked question about the role. Very average interview questions and hope to move to the next stage, but never heard back from them. Little disappointed on how they communicated

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
difference between steel, aluminum, and mild steel
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.
Started with 2 technical rounds. First one was basic MechE questions. Second round interviewer was in a hurry and not so open to listening your thought process. There were questions on electromechanical concepts as well
