Initial screening interview with one team member, where as a candidate I discussed background related to 3D nanofabrication applicable at Irradiant. Prior to the technical interview, I was given a prompt of two questions to address a few days before the interview. The first prompt was how to address SPC, DOE, and process development in a start up setting. The second was how to address a specific process problem related to a manufacturing defect observed in one of the GRIN lenses. The technical interview first required a 15-20 minute presentation on background and related work. Coming from a Ph.D. this was mostly academic work. This was followed by a discussion on addressing the two prompts above. The end of this session then was a Q&A for both parties.
