I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Alef Aeronautics (San Mateo, CA) in Mar 2023
Interview
Great interview experience. The engineer interviewing me took time to ask questions about my resume and experience before diving into conceptual questions. Didn't get the internship due to lack of experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What manufacturing methods do you have experience with?
I was asked to talk about myself, skills, and experience. It was around 15 minutes. It was pretty straightforward and it was nothing super challenging. Interviewer was friendly and polite.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Alef Aeronautics (San Mateo, CA) in May 2025
Interview
Very easy, only a 15-minute interview. I was able to get the interview by reaching out to the recruiter. Although the interviewer, who is one of the founders, did not show up the first two times, he did the third time.
pretty easy, just asked basic questions about resume, work experience and current state in school. First interview was through zoom, then on site. Got the notification that I was hired within a few days.
