The mechanical engineering technical interview is the hardest part of any job interview process for mechanical engineering roles. I had a lot of trouble landing a job as a fresh college graduate because the technical questions always stumped me. They were either very specific or related to issues that the company was currently facing. Unlike software coding technical interview questions, which are transparent and available on KZbin, Google, Leetcode, etc., mechanical engineering technical questions are very limited across these platforms. To help you out, I decided to make this video to help you maximize your chances of landing your next dream mechanical engineering job and provide my top tips and tricks for nailing the technical interview!

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 KZbin 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.

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.

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

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.

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

@@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

@worstthinker27 9 ай бұрын

@@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.

@Craftinges 9 ай бұрын

@@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.
