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 test system you built or modified. What did you have to figure out on your own?
What they are checking: Whether they can build and rework motor and drive test setups with some independence.
Tell me about a time you had to plan and schedule several tests that were competing for the same equipment.
What they are checking: Whether they can organize testing work, not just carry it out.
Tell me about a time you noticed something odd in test data that others missed.
What they are checking: Whether they pay attention to anomalies, which is how real product problems get caught early.
What would you do
A prototype drive fails partway through a qualification test. What do you do first?
What they are checking: Whether they secure the setup, preserve data and report before trying fixes that hide the cause.
An engineer asks you to rework a prototype board but the instructions are not clear. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they clarify before they solder, since rework mistakes can ruin a prototype.
About the work

What they are checking: Whether they have hands-on lab experience with the meters, scopes and instruments this work needs.

How do you record test results so someone else could repeat your test exactly?
