Likely interview questions for this role
Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.
About your past
Tell me about a prototype or test fixture you built from drawings or schematics. What did you have to figure out that the drawing didn't tell you?
What they are checking: Whether they can work hands-on from documentation and fill gaps sensibly instead of stalling.
Describe a time you worked with an engineer who disagreed with what you were seeing on the bench. How did you handle it?
What they are checking: Whether they can stand behind their observations with data while staying open to being wrong.
How do you keep a shared lab organized and equipment maintained when many people use it?
What they are checking: Whether they take ownership of shared space, which keeps the whole team productive and tests valid.
You work with mechanical, electrical, software, quality and service people. Tell me about a problem you solved by pulling in someone from another discipline.
What they are checking: Whether they know when a problem is outside their lane and who to bring in.
What would you do
These products keep newborns warm. How does that change the way you approach testing and documentation?
What they are checking: Whether they treat patient safety as real and are careful with records in a regulated environment.
An engineer asks you to modify a test setup in a way you think might damage the unit. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they speak up early about risk instead of quietly following an instruction they doubt.
About the work
A prototype incubator fails a test intermittently. How do you go about finding the cause?
What they are checking: Whether they use a structured approach to intermittent faults across electrical, mechanical and system levels.
Which test and measurement equipment are you comfortable with, and how do you make sure your readings can be trusted?
What they are checking: Whether they understand calibration and setup, since bad data on a medical device leads to bad decisions.
What does supporting new product introduction mean to you, from prototype builds through manufacturing readiness?
What they are checking: Whether they understand how lab work connects to production and what manufacturing needs to be ready.
Walk me through how you would record a test so someone else could repeat it exactly.
What they are checking: Whether their documentation habits meet the traceability medical device development requires.
