I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Feb 2026
Interview
The interview was very project-focused. We discussed my experience with ISO 15118 and NACS validation in detail. The interviewer pushed hard on technical fundamentals—specifically ASIL D requirements and the physics of pre-charge circuits. No coding was required during my specific session as the technical discussion took up the full time. It was a challenging but fair deep dive into high voltage systems.
