I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Tesla (Austin, TX) in Jan 2024
Interview
Rigorous interview process with multiple rounds of varying formats. Online form is thorough and needs to show exceptional skill and deep desire to contribute. In-person interview required an NDA just to be on site.
2 technical rounds with members of the engineering team I would work for. The whole process took around 5 weeks from application to offer. Overall a good experience and the recruiter was very communicative.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They would show a system with a few components, gears, hinges, etc. and ask to design mechanisms for the system. They would go into more and more detail with each question they asked.
First there was an HR interview and then one on one interview with the Team Manager and then if you clear that you will have another round of interview with the entire panel members fo the team.
