There was a telephonic round that was pretty easy, focusing on C questions like sorting, linked lists, probes, and then some electrical/voltage questions about probes and impedances. They also asked questions to see how confident you are in difficult situations. Then I had a face-to-face interview where they hit me with more tricky C and electronics questions. The HR round was basically a formality to confirm my employment.
Confirmed questions7 questions
- Do you have experience with C programming?
- Can you explain sorting algorithms?
- What are linked lists and how do they work?

The entire interview process is split into three parts. First, you'll meet with two senior engineers who will ask you technology-related questions, particularly about embedded Linux development. After that, you'll have a meeting with the hiring manager to discuss your work history, the job responsibilities, and so on, with some technology questions sprinkled in.
Confirmed questions1 question

Technical Coding Behavioral
It was a three-round interview process. The first round was a written test covering general aptitude, C/C++ programming, and OS concepts. Based on the scores, a few of us, including me, were selected for the second round. This round was a face-to-face interview with a highly qualified developer. He asked questions on C/C++ programming and OS concepts. I was also asked to write some programs and explain the logic. Additionally, he inquired about my answers from the first round. I was the first one interviewed in this second round. Even though the interview seemed to go well, I wasn't sure about the next steps. An HR person then told us to go home and that results would be communicated via email or direct contact.

Technical Behavioral
Phone screening: first, we talked about the overall business unit's technical areas, their goals and deliverables; second, about your background and potential fit, and any gaps. Then, in person, it was mainly technical interviews. Spent a good chunk of time with each interviewer. They asked about your background and resume, and explanations. Lots of technical questions, mostly scenario-based, with ample time to work through solutions. Everyone was super friendly the whole time, really trying to help you do your best.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- How deep do the technical questions go regarding layers of complexities?
- What happens when a solution is presented, and a new complexity is added?
- How are real-world problems complex and sometimes outside the candidate's background?
