I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Boeing (Huntsville, AL) in Oct 2022
Interview
The overall interview process was pretty good and straight forward. The interviewer panel made me feel comfortable and asked questions related to both my career in addition to canned interview questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked for a situation where I was met with obstacles and how I overcame them.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Boeing (Seal Beach, CA) in May 2024
Interview
Joined a Microsoft Teams call with 2 employees from management. Outlined the process as: first 3 questions are "get to know you" and personal/major oriented, last 2 questions are technical. Was not the case, many more technical questions than they said would be.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1.) Describe any educational, professional, or other relevant experiences that have prepared you for an engineering internship full time opportunity with the Boeing opportunity.
1.1) High level overview of curriculum that has been repair based for aircraft.
2.) Please tell us why you chose your major and why you are interested in a full-time opportunity with Boeing.
3.) Decision making: Describe a time when you had to make compromises in order to accomplish a team objective. What was the end result?
4.) Please describe a situation where you analyzed information or data. what analysis did you perform and what conclusions did you draw?
5.1) Explain what the shear and moment distribution diagrams would look like for a cantilever beam with something sitting at the end.
5.2) What do you recall about your statics class and what are some of the things that you learned? How do you imagine that statics applies to the structural analysis of aircraft?
5.3) What is strain? What does the stress-strain curve look like for metals? How would you determine the Young's modulus for this material from the curve?
5.4) Got the cross section of a cantilever beam, where in the cross section are the stresses maximum (tension, shear, bending)? If you have a moment on a section, how would you calculate the stress of that section from the moment?
5.5) If you have a rod, and you pull on the rod with an axial load, can you tell me how to calculate that axial stress at that cross section? And then what about the shear stress?
5.6) Could you tell us on that cross section where the moment stress would be the highest on the cross section?
5.7) What about for a straight axial load, where would that stress be maximum on the cross section?
5.8) Where would the shear stress be maximum on the cross section?
5.9) Do you know what a factor of safety is? What is the equation for it? What is the physical significance of it? How about margin of safety?
Star method on individual and team experiences using various ndt methods.
Types of ndt methods used and what differences them in their application.
What is my experience using codes and standards and how do they apply to my current role?
