      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cymer (San Diego, CA) in Mar 2018

      Interview

      I spoke to a representative at the Career Fair and they got back to me like a week afterward. The was a 30 min phone interview with three members and the questions were regarding team work, experience working in cleanroom, questions related to specific projects listed in my resume - the depend heavily on mechatronics and controls background. After 2 days I got a message saying I got selected for On-site interview. Then the onsite from 8:15 - 2:30. I made a 45min presentation on a topic of my choice and then there were 4 one-one interview sessions with an additional lunch-with-Engineer session. The questions were a good mix of both behavioral and Technical. The technical questions were mostly related to the work/ experience as mentioned in Resume but also some general knowledge questions specific to the job. Awaiting a response!
