I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Draper (Cambridge, MA) in Apr 2025
Interview
The interview focused primarily on my past experience, the projects I’ve worked on, and how I approach technical problems. I was also asked a few general questions about cantilever beams to assess my fundamental understanding of mechanics. The overall atmosphere was very friendly, clear, and straightforward, and the interviewer made the discussion comfortable and easy to follow.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What happens to the deflection of a cantilever beam if:
the load is doubled?
the length is doubled?
the flexural rigidity EI is doubled?
