I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Intuitive
Interview
About 6, 30 minute interviews. Some interviewers, like the managers, were pretty casual, just trying to feel me out. Some interviewers gave more technical questions about how to make various parts, the tolerances for those manufacturing methods, the downsides, the benefits, etc. Done over Webex.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Some asked a lot of questions on ways of manufacturing certain parts.
