Tesla Software Engineer interview

Two technical managers interviewed me, and the conversation became intense right away. They asked about my motivation as well as technical and behavioral topics.

One technical question concerned a motor module and required more rigor than I expected. The behavioral questions asked how I would handle production-engineering difficulties, when problems stack up and work still has to ship. I found the questions concentrated and demanding because broad answers did not leave much room to hide. I did not receive an offer, but I came away feeling they were judging depth and resilience, not just technical recall.

Location: Berlin. Overall feedback: neutral. Offer status: no offer.
