      Mechanical Design Engineer Interview

      Feb 25, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Attleboro, MA
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sensata Technologies (Attleboro, MA) in Feb 2016

      Interview

      I met Sensata at my university's career fair. They immediately asked me technical questions. I was then contacted via phone and asked to set up a 30 minite phone interview. Although that interview was with an engineer, he just asked questions about my resume and then had me ask him questions. Make sure you have question to ask! A few days later I received an invitation to Sensata's "fantastic Friday" where there was 1 HR interview and 3 technical interviews.

      Draw a stress strain curve, where is the plastic and elastic range, how do you add resistors in parallel

      Mechanical Design Engineer Interview

      Feb 24, 2020
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Attleboro, MA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Sensata Technologies (Attleboro, MA) in Nov 2019

      Interview

      Phone screening, then phone interview with an engineer, which was mostly about teamwork skills and to describe myself and my goals. Then they invited me onsite for a site tour (with other candidates) and a several-hour long interview process with four employees. The questions ranged all over, from solving simple mechanics puzzles to describing my teamwork skills, project skills, and what some of my most intense analyses have been in the past. At one point, they asked me to draw a free-body-diagram. It all well went well in my opinion, I answered every question in detail and in a way that demonstrated my strengths. However, I was aware that another candidate was equally skilled and had a higher education than me. I was fine with the fact that I was truly bested for the job, but I was shocked by the fact that they completely ghosted me after the interview day. No emails, no responses, no rejections.

      Interview questions [4]

      Question 1

      “Do you see any issues with the design of this diagram, as I show it to you? The device measures pressure.”
      1 Answer

      Question 2

      “Draw a free body diagram. I want to see your process”
      Answer question

      Question 3

      “What was one of your most intense analyses?”
      Answer question

      Question 4

      “Do you know what this metal part is for?”
