Colloquio
Received an email addresses to FSAE teams, responded, and received a call around two weeks later to set up a technical interview with a structures manager. Technical interview was fair but not easy due to nerves and the quickness of the questions asked.

Domanda 1
You have a cantilever beam on the side of the building with a point load at the end of the beam. What cross-section would you choose? Why? What material would you choose? Why? Now put that cantilever beam on a rocket. What material would you choose? Why? Where would the beam fail? Why? How else could you design the beam to reduce weight?

The interview process for me was quick, helpful, and ultimately very fruitful. I was in touch with a recruiter very quickly, and received prompt responses to questions. Scheduling of the interview was easy, and done at a convenient time for me. The recruiter was quick to get back to me after my interview with an offer. The whole process took less than two weeks.

I was asked a number of questions about relevant hands-on engineering experience that I had listed on my resume. From this, the interviewer - who ultimately became my manager - was able to determine whether or not I would be a good fit.

Was contacted by HR to schedule phone interview. Was called later that day to schedule 2nd phone interview. A week and a half later I was notified that the team did not want to move forward at that time. Questions were related to my past experience/projects.

Colloquio
I spoke to some recruiters at the 2015 Formula SAE competition who added me to a "rockstar" list (hooray!). I was contacted in June, and had a single phone interview/screening in July.
The phone interview was about 30 minutes to an hour long and included questions about previous experience and more specifics o things on my resume such as my FSAE experience. The last portion of the interview was a quick technical interview: mostly focusing on the classic mechanical engineering questions regarding beam tensile/bending/buckling deflection/failure, and some ways to maximize performance, as well as what failure looked like.
I was given an offer shortly after and accepted the position for the following summer (so interview at the end of summer 2015 and internship during the summer of 2016).
