      Test Engineer Interview

      Feb 28, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla in Oct 2017

      Interview

      Applied directly through the website and was contacted the next day by a hiring manager, who informed me that I seemed to be an ideal candidate for the position for more than one department. After a brief phone interview, the hiring manager let me know that he needed to talk with the various group managers, and said that they wanted me to move forward to the next step, which was a practical exam. The exam was timed and done entirely online...which I did, within a reasonable amount of time. I sent the exam and NEVER received any follow up. I waited and followed up myself and never received any further communication. So after being told that I was an "ideal" candidate, I was just left in the dark. I don't feel that my performance on the practical exam could have been that bad, and although there were a few questions that I could not answer (which I already told the hiring manager that I did not have experience with prior to the test, and they seemed fine with it), I was able to answer everything else that I did have experience with. Completely unprofessional handling in that they did not even bother to let me know they decided not to move forward with me during the selection process.

      Application

      I interviewed at Tesla (Palo Alto, CA)

      Interview

      Friendly interview. I felt very welcome and encouraged by the team. There was a presentation held by a manager about the current projects. Technical questions should be easy for someone freshly out of college. They were theoretical.

      Question 1

      Question about Python and circuits

      I interviewed at Tesla (Texas City, TX)

      Interview

      The interview process was quite comprehensive and covered a wide range of technical topics. Many of the questions focused on embedded systems, circuit design, and VLSI concepts. There were also some problem-solving scenarios to test analytical thinking.

      Question 1

      How would you design a test plan for verifying a new VLSI chip’s functionality?
