I applied online. I interviewed at Carnegie Mellon University (Pittsburgh, PA) in Apr 2026
Interview
I had to talk about my past projects. The questions, given the projects they were looking at, covered things like what kinds of projects I enjoyed, whether my skill set was a good fit, and deep dives into prior projects.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Specifically, they were looking for someone whose background had relevant components that could be helpful, skill-wise, for the projects they are currently working on. They asked deep questions about that and, in short, were summarizing things so that we could later establish whether it was a good fit.
