Submitted an application through my university's private job board and was contacted by a recruiter the next day. We briefly went over my background and I was contacted again, a few days later, to set up an on-site interview. The on-site interview date was set to occur two weeks later. I had a brief discussion 1:1 with an engineer who told me about the company. During this part of the interview, there was not any discussion about my background or any technical questions. I was informed that I was going to be interviewing for multiple positions (I had only applied to structures online). I then had to give a 30 minute PowerPoint presentation on my senior design project to two engineers. After the presentation, I had 30 minute 1:1 technical interview that went over basic structures questions. Following that interview was a 20 minute interview with another engineer covering aerodynamics questions. Finally, there was a demo with an engineering showing some of the work that is done on a computer. The whole process lasted about two hours.
Structures questions: Explain an S-N curve. Explain a stress-strain curve. Draw each one. What is the point of highest stress in a given beam. And other mechanics of materials questions.
Aerodynamics questions: Explain how lift is created on an airfoil. Explain thrust in an engine. What is static pressure? What is total pressure? What is entropy?
