The most common failure I see on technical interviews is not talking enough. Candidates that don’t explain their thought process, don’t question the premise of the question, don’t ask for help. Someone who just goes silent is not going to be a good hire.
Could u launch a series on UA-cam to help Mechanical engineers sharpen their mechanical comprehension around all concepts of mechanical engineering? This will also generate general interest in mechanical engineering. It is fun to ponder over why things happen in a certain way? Mechanical Engineering is the best route to understand physical concepts in real life and professional experience why things in a certain way? U can actually use different physical laws, principles to understand why something is being used in a process or system to achieve a certain goal. U can also intuitively determine something in your mind without detailed calculations because of the concepts u have learned in your studies. U learn to compare, look for similarities or no similarities and reach certain conclusion, and on the fly. I believe mechanical comprehension should be the prime driver when solving problems in Heat Transfer, HVAC, Hydraulics, Fluid mechanics, Heat Engines &, mechanics of solids, kinematics, dynamics, machine design, machine tools, metallurgy, heat treatment, welding.
had a technical interview with SpaceX for a recovery engineer position. Should've reviewed mechanics of materials & beam deflection beforehand. These tips are pretty solid, knowing your resumé is pretty key but also try to remember specific details about the projects you've worked on in the past will add value to your answers especially with SpaceX. Will update on the outcome of the interview soon.
Out of the 6 places Interviewed at I only had 1 place that gave a purely technical interview. If I made it past the HR screening interviews then I would always be asked some technical questions but other types of questions were more prevelant. The one purely technical interview was brutal. It was in person and it lasted over two hours. If I did not get the right answer then the interviewer would make me redo it until I got it correct. Most of the questions were on fluid mechanics but there was dynamics, statics, and dimensional analysis. Due to some sort of miss comunication, probably due to me not reading an email carefully enough, I did not know that I was walking into a technical interview so I was mostly unprepared. I think I preformed okay given the circumstances but I was really mentally unprepared for that ordeal and I did not get the job.
Christ that sounds horrific. I've been struggling as-is with my second year thermo and dynamics modules, and having seen how convoluted some of these technical questions can get has given me a lot of anxiety for when I have to start applying. Hope it worked out for you in the end.
A couple weeks ago, I interviewed with relativity space and got hit with medium difficulty technical questions but I had a feeling that I didn’t provide enough reasoning and I just gave a short answer. Like the 0.02% offset rule, bending formula, heat transfer q’’, specific heat. I also didn’t take time to reflect on the question and give a deeper explanation, because I was nervous. The interview ended up ending a few minutes short. I have another interview tomorrow with a smaller aerospace company, so hopefully I improve.
What types of questions were you asked? And what position did you apply for? I’m getting ready for a technical interview for one of their fluids positions!
@@masonredfield6506 I got asked many things: “What projects did you work on”, “what did you do exactly.” Then “can you explain your reasoning”. What “theory did you apply.” “Why did you make those assumptions.” “How did you apply fluid mechanics” “how did you design the cooling channels and calculate the dimensions” “Use the whiteboard to explain your reasoning”.
@@masonredfield6506, good luck! I want to get into the space industry and the position was for Mechanical Engineer I in Stennis, MS. Looks like it’s still open and they added a “You should still apply even if you don’t have all of these” so that must mean that they still can’t fill the position. Apply to it if you can relocate!!!
As i 2as going to school for aerospace, i taught high school for 5 years and worked in treatment centers for youth with drug and alcohol addiction. I ran AA, group sessions, individual sessions etc. This has helped immensely for engineering as i have learned how to teach very young individuals math and science as well as do therapy work with them.
Technical interviews are simply a way to showcase your experience. If the interviewer asks you only theoretical questions, you’re either a fresh graduate or it’s a strictly office based role for research or staff training and development. Always stick to what you know and divert your answers to that ;)
What all roles will you eventually get after getting your first job as a junior mechanical engineer? I mean what are all the possible promotions that you get until you become 60... Like a senior mech engineer or staff engineer... Etc.. please tell us
Hello, I recently found out about your channel and amazed by all the useful info you have. Do you recommend to learn mechanical engineering online at all ? I work full time and overtime a lot and going to actual school would be impossible. On a side note. Do you know any online school for mechanical engineering that you would recommend? I'm currently looking for an online school to do mechanical engineering school that are not super expensive. One of schools I found online would cost a total of more than $90k in 4 years. That's alot of money for me. Thanks
During my internship, I met a guy who used to work for the Navy. He had a fair bit of pride, but he told me that I would need to communicate with confidence with leadership and with certainty to get into the defense industry. He told me that you can be super booksmart, but if you can’t communicate it concisely and directly then I won’t get in. Communication is just as important as technical knowledge.
Nah if you say the things at 11:58 probably they will not hire you. Titanium doesnt like discontinuity like notches, holes. Stress concenstration is really high at those points as far as I learnt while doing reasarch on the net years ago, have some interest in titanium element :) but dont know about aluminum. So becareful sometimes same principles cannot be applied. Best thing to do is doing detailed research before saying things that will jeopardize your recruitment.
@@worstthinker27 Manufacturable? Do you even know whats notch sensitivity and fatigue stress are? And its not an easy metal to process or cast like other steels
@@Craftinges Notch sens and fatigue stress can both be reduced with good design. sure titanium may not be easy to process or cast but thats why it costs more than materials like aluminum. My issue with your original comment "Titanium doesnt like discontinuity like notches, holes" is that this applies to many common engineering materials and that the interview answer is more than adequate and shows many qualities that interviewers are looking for. it is not like you are outright lying but rather you are using your experience and applying it where it makes sense to do so. After all this is what employers are looking for.
@@worstthinker27 Yeah seems you are right. They dont look at what you know or how smart you are or your potantial atleast in my country.The education background is ajoke for them. They only look for experience in the field and I dont have enough of that so they dont hire me :). Bad part is I will not be able to get that field exp without working.

I've gotten so many first stage hour long technical interviews, always want to die inside. Pls for the love of God stop making me do live exams

Thanks for the video. Really useful
This was such a good video. Thank you

You're AWESOME! Subscribed
So basically you’re being interviewed like you’re taking the FE?
Just finishing first year in third world country university this look very hard to me
Thanks a lot sir,
Do you have any tips for roles which are mostly Thermal/Fluid based roles? Are there any good resources focusing on these that you would recommend?
What all roles will you eventually get after getting your first job as a junior mechanical engineer?
I mean what are all the possible promotions that you get until you become 60...
Like a senior mech engineer or staff engineer... Etc.. please tell us
You liked my comment and just went off ?! 😪
@@kevingarfield2094 stay tuned for a video😁

I feel angry after a rejection. Then, I assume somebody less qualified got the job as a personal favor.
Hei, I have seen your videos for a while and it's really awesome. Can I talk with you personally?
Sir plz start ANSYS COMPLETE TUTORIAL PAID
Anyone knows any channel with similar content for electrical engineers?
How much does a average mechanical engineering make per year?
I can only speak for the US, which is in the ballpark of $90k
Median entry level is like 76k, and it was even lower a few years back
SIR PLZ GUIDE HOW TO GET INTO DEFENSE COMPANY

He told me that you can be super booksmart, but if you can’t communicate it concisely and directly then I won’t get in. Communication is just as important as technical knowledge.
ME interview could be asked for anything. Someone may ask you "Do you fix your own car?"
I like working on robotics. Arduino robotics. Haha 😆
Keep supporting ❤
Mechanical engineering at these top MNC's is really difficult, yet IT people are getting paid more. 😂😂
I lost hope in getting a job in the field. Gonna open my shawarma restaurant😂
You're not expected to know everything as a junior engineer...just about 90% of everything you took in college 😂
❤
I have no idea what's going on this video

"Best thing to do is doing detailed research before saying things" you should take your own advice lol. Titanium is very manufacturable.
