I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Apple in Oct 2021
Interview
5 Stages, the first 3 are technical and the last 2 are related to the design challenge they gave. The design challenge was simple but fumbled the last panel presentation. The technical questions were not that difficult. The typical ME questions on beams, heat transfer, physics, CAD.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Apple
Interview
It was great. It was for an internship and the interviewers were friendly. It was mostly behavioral questions. Make sure you have a good elevator pitch and can explain every project and detail on your resume in depth. Always expect a follow up question.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in June 2025
Interview
1st round 30 min technical with basic beam and materials questions
2 round 1hr panel with questions about projects and more technical questions on beam like shear stress diagram and material science
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Shenzhen, Guangdong) in Dec 2024
Interview
Very fast response rate and accomodation to personal schedule, good connection with HR. 3+1 round HR screening. First screening, then with a product design engineer, then with someone high up, and then a design challenge. Overall positive, not super harsh questions, and no behavioural questions.
