      Senior Mechanical Engineer Interview

      3 Sept 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Bedford, MA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at MITRE (Bedford, MA) in Jan 2011

      Interview

      Initially submitted application online and received a phone call from their HR dept in setting up an in person interview. Was flown up to their Bedford campus and met with 3 of the staff (a senior staff member, a mechanical engineer staff, and the director of the department). The first interview, he discussed a project he had in mind he was hiring for ( heavy on fluid mechanics) and discussed some of the responsibilities and gauged my interest in the project. The second interview was very similar to the first, but focused on a different project (mechanical vibration and heat transfer) which I was more interested in. The last interview focused more on my fundamental approaches to problems and discussed what I'd prefer from management and my preferences in work environments. 2-3 weeks after my interview I was called and was extended an offer for the internship. A background check and government clearance was needed before beginning the internship.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Q: Can you discuss your experience working with FEA software and how it may translate to the project i described?

      Senior Mechanical Engineer Interview

      8 Jun 2014
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at MITRE

      Interview

      typically a phone interview first, then they will call you in and you spend 1/2 to full day meeting with people in the department you'd be hired into. you'll get a call back if they want to hire you then a letter. you'll need to undergo a security check and you might need to apply for a clearance
