I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Solar Turbines (San Diego, CA)
Interview
There was a phone interview with the head of the department and HR, they asked basic questions about my experience, education, and engineering basics. I was asked to troubleshoot a problem with a car as a problem solving question. I then did a in person interview, where you have 3 or 4 people ask you pre-written questions regarding different situations that involved: trust, honesty, speaking up, etc.
