Sentana:
HR interview.
Why leaving current company; Why Sentana? 5 yr plan. Some brief
description about your xp related to the current position.
ASML: Mechanical Design engineer
Technique interview:
Introduce yourself; Introduce FEA projects; What is the challenge of the
FEA analysis you did? How many components? Nodes? Mesh? Deformation?
What FEA software?
Goodyear: Data analysis engineer
Technique interview:
Introduction; What data analysis you've done; How is the data (are they
clean? messy?); what program? DOE? How much data?
Caterpillar: Senior associate engineer
Direct onsite interview: All behavior questions.
IBM: Patterning engineer
Round 1: Phone interview
What is your xp in MEMS/patterning? Why good fit?
What is the negative response you get from your supervisor?
Round 2: Webex interview
20 minutes PPT;
Round 3: onsite
50 minutes PPT; Whole day interview 1 v.s. 1.
How to do Design of experiment?
Why do DOE?
Why leave current company?
Explain the possible reasons for an example patterning problem.
Why IBM? What xp related to the current position?
Intralox: FEA engineer
Phone technique interview:
Xp related to the position.
What FEA software?
How does your boss/collegue say about you? (I think I failed in this
question. I kept saying I am smart, which indicates that I am so so so
stupid)
Frequently asked questions:
All behavior questions such as troubleshooting, time management, challenge
taking etc.
Introduce yourself;
Introduce your resume/project; Most challenging project?
Most related experience to the job?
5 year plan?/vision?
Why XXX company?
Design of Experiment?
What did you learn during Ph.D., work, XXXX……
Some thing:
HR interview are usually focused on behavior questions. Should not fail
with preparation.
Sometimes the interview does not have technique questions. However the
engineer managers do care technique background. So when answering the
behavior questions try provide as much as possible job description related
experiences.
Presentation is the key of the keys. As long as no critical mistake is made
for behavior question, a nice PPT gives your the job. Match is the key.
Direct work match is the best, then research field match, critical method
match, critical equipment match. You can easily trick the HR, but not the
engineer manager. Especially when it goes to Presentation......
After HR round, manager gives you the job. HR is just assisting. In many
cases, there is no HR interview.
吹牛 gives you trouble if Presentation is required.
Dressing up is necessary; but as an engineer, never believe a suit can
really give or destroy your interview. Seldom are there engineers care
about those.
