      Milwaukee, WI

      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at GE (Milwaukee, WI)

      Interview

      Phone screening with hiring manager then followed with on-site interview. Manager requested a presentation last minute. Presented slides on my graduate studies followed by Q&A from engineers in the lab group.

      Interview questions [5]

      Question 1

      After hearing your discussion, I am curious to know about your engineering experience rather than troubleshooting in the lab. Please describe your contribution since troubleshooting is usually handled by our corporate lab at another site.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Here is a lab that has several polishing stations for preparing samples to examine new material microstructures. What sort of elements would you recommend us to look at for radioactive source to be used in x-ray medical imaging?
      Answer question

      Question 3

      Here is a situation we ran into a few days ago. We noticed something leaking out of our assembly of x-ray instrument housing with green residue. Describe your approach to the situation in finding root cause and failure mode.
      Answer question

      Question 4

      What is a gage R&R study? What determines a successful gage R&R?
