About your past

Tell me about a time you worked with someone outside your team, like a supplier or another discipline, to solve a problem.

What they are checking: Whether they can collaborate across functions and with suppliers as the posting expects.

Tell me about a technical project you're proud of. What part did you personally do?

What they are checking: Whether they can separate their own contribution from the team's and explain it clearly.

Why do you think electrification matters for defense vehicles in particular?

What they are checking: Whether they have thought about the mission benefits like silent watch and power export, not just trends.

What would you do

You're reviewing how a component will be packaged and you think the cable routing creates a risk. The senior engineer seems confident. What do you do?

What they are checking: Whether they raise a safety concern respectfully with evidence even as the most junior person.

You're stuck on a task and your mentor is busy for the next two days. What do you do?

What they are checking: Whether they can make progress on their own while knowing when to ask for help.

About the work

What makes working with high voltage systems on a vehicle different from low voltage 12 or 24-volt systems?

What they are checking: Whether they respect HV safety, isolation, interlocks and the regulations that come with them.

If you had to choose between two HV components that both meet spec, how would you weigh weight, cost, reliability and ease of manufacturing?

What they are checking: Whether they can make a reasoned trade-off the way the posting describes, not just pick the cheapest.

Tactical vehicles see heat, cold, dust and shock. What would you look for on a supplier's datasheet for a battery or inverter going into one?

What they are checking: Whether they think about environmental ratings and durability, not only electrical specs.

Walk me through a basic calculation you might do to estimate how much energy a battery pack needs for a given mission.

What they are checking: Whether they can do simple power and energy math and state their assumptions.

What safety practices would you expect to follow before touching an HV system in a lab or on a vehicle?

What they are checking: Whether they know lockout, verification of de-energization and proper PPE before working on HV.
