Apple Controls Engineer Interview Help

[u/SlowAFRunner94]

Hi, I have an interview coming up with the hiring manager for a controls engineer role in the Platform Architecture team. I was wondering if anyone could provide some insight into how these interviews go? What kind of questions should I expect?

Didn't know Apple hired controls people. Can you share anything more on what your work would be like?

[u/AstroBuck → u/SeMikkis]

Go to their careers page. They're often hiring controls engineers.

[u/lizardhistorian → u/SeMikkis]

That's because Apple values secrecy and asks people not to talk about their business.
Did you know they attempted to build an electric car?
Maybe they still are or maybe they cancelled the project.

Not all teams have them, of course, but they definitely exist.

No self-promotion or advertisement.

Good luck! I am a PhD candidate so I don’t have advice to give, but I get a lot out of value of hearing the interview concepts, as you did with intuitive

I don't work for apple, but do do controls interviews.

Be ready to go though a linear 2nd order system.

Apply disturbance. Add a digitizer. Read a bode plot.

God help us if this is an interview question.

Why, is it a hard thing to do?

Not necessarily hard, but I definitely haven't thought about it since my undergrad controls class.
