Preparing to Interview In-person for Associate Mechatronics Field Engineer

In a few days, I'm booked to do a two-hour final round interview at a local FANUC office and am having trouble finding specific things I could be doing to best prepare myself. There are some big questions I have:

  1. How should I prepare and make myself stand out?
  2. What questions should I expect?
  3. Any general tips?

I'm delaying a job offer for a sales role just so I can interview for this, and want this pretty badly. I barely have any background in CNCs, but I got a real eagerness to learn. I did sales integrating FANUC robots (not CNCs) for a year and took a robotic programming course from them. Along with sales, I generally have an engineering background.

I'm considering picking up a book on PLCs or CNC maintenance but I've heard that studying a book isn't going to be much help. I know a tiny bit about PLCs, making ladder logic programs, and hydraulic and pneumatic systems only from some college course/labwork. I'm eager to travel constantly for the role.

Thanks for helping me. I'll be responding to answer any questions and the like.
