I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Nov 2024
Interview
First round was a screening interview where we mainly talked about my resume and previous projects. The second round was three 1 hours interviews back to back. The first one drilled more in depth into my projects and focused on what equations drove the behavior I saw. The second focused on RLC circuits and voltage drop. The third focused on computer architecture and some Python programming.
