Candidate-reported interview process

Had a simple coding test first, then one interview where we talked a lot about my research, and then it was like a rapid-fire session on lots of robotics topics like controls, planning, and trajectory optimization to see what I know and don't know.

It was a good and smooth process with 2 virtual rounds. They asked about my research experience on robotics and LP. No live coding was involved. They also asked some behavioral questions like how you use gen AI and show your ownership.

My hiring manager was super nice throughout the whole interview. They asked me some general questions about Robotics and to sketch out a solution for a manipulation task. It was a pretty fun interview overall. It finished with some Amazon values questions.
