Interview
The interview stater with the usual tell me about yourself questions. They are really focused on making sure they hire someone, as a co-op, that they can create a bond with or at least they can take being in the same area with for a semester. After that they start asking their interview questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I got asked the button question. Essentially they drew out a layout where there was a top surface, a bottom surface, a spring, a button, and a switch. The goal of the question was to find out what part of the drawing had to switch locations based on the drawing given. The question was a lot easier than it seemed. The switch, which the button was supposed to press as the spring compresses, was off centered, As a result, the fix to the question is to move the switch so that is aligned vertically with the button.

Interview
Very straightforward technical + behavioural interview. Not too much going on. Know your basics (e.g. beam deflection, heat transfer, manufacturing, mechanical design) and you should be fine. Very nice TL. Very patient and welcoming.
