When answering this question, focus on your practical experience with prototyping in the context of design engineering. Mention specific projects where you used prototyping to develop automotive components or systems. Discuss the tools you are proficient with, such as CAD software, 3D printers, or simulation tools, and explain how they contributed to the success of your projects. For example:
"In my previous role, I worked on developing a new suspension system for a mid-sized sedan. I used SolidWorks for the initial design and then created a physical prototype using a 3D printer. This allowed us to test the fit and function of the components before moving to full-scale production. Additionally, I used ANSYS for simulation to ensure the design met all safety and performance standards. These tools were crucial in iterating quickly and efficiently, ultimately leading to a successful product launch."
