J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 4 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Apple (Boulder, CO) en nov. 2022
Entretien
Everyone I spoke to was very smart and kind, they purposefully ask questions they don't expect you to have answers to in order to judge how you think through problems. Only complaint was the timeline, interviewed for 4 months starting with a 30 minute technical interview then 6 hr product design challenge plus 1 hr presentation of design challenge and ended with 5 hrs of 30min interviews with people from different teams.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
You have two metal spheres that look and feel exactly the same from the outside but are made from different metals - describe non-destructive methods to determine what the materials are.
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.

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.
