I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla in Nov 2020
Interview
3 rounds of interview . 1 st 2 rounds went pretty well. last round with the panel was the problem. some members in the Panel are the team that I was going to work with if I get hired. Some of the team members who interviewed me asked questions directly from google search on top questions asked for a quality engineer and some expected answers from their perspective instead of taking into consideration of the way I would solve a problem. The questions all based on unrealistic thinking out of a real time scenarios.

I applied online. I interviewed at Tesla (Berlijn) in Jan 2026
Interview
My interview process for the Quality Engineer position at Tesla was challenging but very professional and well-structured.
The first stage was an interview with the HR team. During this conversation, the focus was mainly on my motivation and overall fit for the role. I was asked why I wanted to join Tesla, what attracted me to the position, how familiar I was with the company and its products, and which Tesla projects or initiatives I was following. The recruiter also explored my career background, my interest in the automotive and sustainable energy sectors, and my long-term career goals.
The second stage was a technical interview with the Team Leader and the Quality Manager.
The third stage involved an interview with a member of a cross-functional team that I would potentially work with on a daily basis.

Question 1
One of the key questions was a behavioral scenario: "Imagine it is late in the evening and you receive a critical quality issue from a customer. How would you manage the situation?"
