I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Tesla in Jul 2020
Interview
Video call with team manager. Did a deep dive into technical details of accomplishments/experiences on resume, then was asked technical questions on Mechanical Engineering/Coding basics. Very fair interview and overall very good experience.

What advantages does Python have over other programming languages?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Palo Alto, CA) in Sept 2023
Interview
3 Interviews (two design engineers, one manager)
All fairly similar. Drill you on your resume and ask that you walk them through your design process in a very technical and analytical way. End of with a technical question about thermal or mechanical design.
