      Mechanical Engineer Interview

      5 Sept 2013
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Lam Research in Aug 2013

      Interview

      During 25 minute phone interview with contract recruiter, he asked simple straight forward questions while typing my responses to forward to hiring manager. Second interview with hiring manager lasted 20 or so minutes. He posed a fictitious product and asked for my design process for product. My response and interview was good enough to be asked back for in-person interview. I met with 5 members of team in low pressure environment. Was asked to describe my biggest, favorite, successful project from a design perspective. Another member posed a sample product spec and asked what type of design details I would implement. Another member asked some fundamental engineering principle questions such as deflection of beam (steel vs. alum) and mass suspended on spring deflection questions.

      Question 1

      Was asked to describe my biggest, favorite, successful project from a design perspective. I was not prepared for this question. I had lots of examples of projects and problems-solved related to Lam's products, but the interviewer could not believe that the projects I was talking about were "my biggest" or "most successful".

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Lam Research (Tualatin, OR)

      Interview

      Incoherent; individual interviewers were great, but the process was entirely opaque. I was escorted to the door silently, buth then I got an offer. It was very strange. The hiring manager seemed eager to get me to accept, but was evasive when I asked questions.
