    Pathetic responses.
    Know your resume and be ready to know exactly why you made certain design decisions, what was prioritized : cost, quality , reliability and why. What kind of simulations did you run, what bench level or real life scenarios did you test, how did you prove to yourself that this will work before it gets even close to a complete design.
    People say know your fundamentals all the time, which is true but thst doesn’t mean go recap triple integrals. You should know beam bending problems, thermodynamics and heat transfers just to name the really core ones.
    Selection of materials, manufacturing techniques : injection molding , casting, machining.
    GD&T is a very large topic but def know how to run a tolerance stack up analysis.
    How would you run an FEA simulation.
    I’m not sure if you’re role is in Mfg or design but the latter is tougher to get in.
    Good luck!!

    I think it highly depends on your org... but in general you need to know your fundamentals and approach problems from first principle.

    All of my former coworkers from Tesla say the best way to prepare for a Tesla interview is to concentrate on getting interviews at other companies who know what WLB is.
    I don’t actually have relevant advise beyond that. I have known a couple happy people at SpaceX, but to say they are workaholics is a gross understatement.

    Tell them you'd let Elon bend you over a table and it should be good.
