      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Apr 2026

      Interview

      Interview with hiring manager then virtual onsite. They ask you general mechanical engineering questions as well as questions dependent on type of team and skills they are looking for. Not bad overall just brush up on basic beam deflection, GD&T, Design analysis etc.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Ways to reduce beam deflection
      Answer question

      I interviewed at Apple

      Interview

      The interview went well overall. The interviewer opened with a discussion about a project I'm proud of, then a beam scenario question that covered structural and load analysis, stress and deflection, and material selection — testing my ability to connect first-principles thinking across the full problem space.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Apple

      Interview

      They gave me a take home tolerance analysis worksheet. It was essentially a tolerance stack up for one of their products and felt fairly straight forward. Thought I answered it well but ultimately they decided to move forward with other candidates.
