Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). O processo levou 4 semanas. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Apple (Sunnyvale, CA).
Entrevista
Round 1: Phone interview with recruiter. Recruiter asked some general questions about my background and details to set up round 2.
Round 2. Interview with Technical Manager. Was asked additional questions about my background and answered my questions about Apple
Round 3: Design Challenge: A design prompt was given with a specific problem but very general requirements (presumably to gauge your approach and creativity). I created CAD models, FEA, and engineering analyses in a presentation that I sent them
Round 4: On site: I was interviewed by the Senior Recruiter, three PDEs, a manager, a director, two senior designers, and the technical manager from round 2. During lunch, I had to present my design challenge which was dissected in detail. Interview questions ranged from my background to previous projects to engineering questions to test general engineering knowledge.
All in all, it was a very thorough.
The interview went well overall. The interviewer opened with a discussion about a project I'm proud of, then a beam scenario question that covered structural and load analysis, stress and deflection, and material selection — testing my ability to connect first-principles thinking across the full problem space.

Entrevista
Interview with hiring manager then virtual onsite. They ask you general mechanical engineering questions as well as questions dependent on type of team and skills they are looking for. Not bad overall just brush up on basic beam deflection, GD&T, Design analysis etc.
They gave me a take home tolerance analysis worksheet. It was essentially a tolerance stack up for one of their products and felt fairly straight forward. Thought I answered it well but ultimately they decided to move forward with other candidates.
