I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cummins (State College, PA) in Sept 2015
Interview
I'm an international graduate student. This is my first month at the United States and my first time to a career fair. The interviewer was so nice and patient. He repeated his questions for several times to help me understand him because my English was not very good. A beautiful girl who was also international sat beside the senior man and record my answers. The interview went smoothly and I got the chance of phone interview. I think they care a lot about what you have done. If you have some direct experience on engine design. You probably will get into the next round.
