I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla in Nov 2020
Interview
3 rounds of interview . 1 st 2 rounds went pretty well. last round with the panel was the problem. some members in the Panel are the team that I was going to work with if I get hired. Some of the team members who interviewed me asked questions directly from google search on top questions asked for a quality engineer and some expected answers from their perspective instead of taking into consideration of the way I would solve a problem. The questions all based on unrealistic thinking out of a real time scenarios.
I applied through university. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Feb 2026
Interview
Process includes HR screening, technical panel interview with 3–4 engineers, a 30-minute presentation, individual one-on-one discussions with panelists, and a final HR conversation to review feedback, discuss fit, and next steps
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Tesla (Lathrop, CA) in Sept 2025
Interview
Very nice and very fast. Reach last interview with Senior Director. He asked me how to launch a battery assembly line. I explained but not enough I guess. Quality manager was great and the team was also amazing. Very technical and deep conversations.
