Hi everyone! I recently got an interview with AMAT for an Application Engineer -E-Beam/EBT role in Phoenix. Has anyone interviewed for a similar role? What kinds of technical and behavioral questions should I prepare for? Especially curious about how deep they go into: E-beam/SEM fundamentals semiconductor device/electronics concepts troubleshooting vacuum systems customer-facing scenarios Any interview experiences or preparation tips would be really appreciated. Thank you!
