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.

Colloquio
Started of with a screeing by a hiring manager to go over the process. 4 interviews all of technical level with one take home test of the same difficulty. The interviewers were kind and very sharp and each laster 1 hour.
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
Regular stress strain questions, how I would design a component. You need to undestand GD&T to an exceptional level
Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite l'università. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Apple (Cupertino, CA) nel mese di apr 2026
Colloquio
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.
