Process
I spoke with the company's recruiters at my school's career fair and handed them my resume. They seemed interested, and a while later, I received an email to schedule a phone interview.
The interview itself wasn't too bad. I specifically requested a more software-oriented role.
I was asked some simple questions about circuit logic and design (e.g., measuring current, short circuits), and some object-oriented programming concepts such as polymorphism, encapsulation, and runtime for different scenarios.
Additionally, they assessed my hardware knowledge, including the datapath of an architecture and the basic components of a computer (motherboard).
Questions
Describe what a short circuit is, and how to tell when it occurs.
If I had to search through a large amount of data, what would be faster: using references of each data type or the data itself?

- 4.0Great place for a co-op engineerCo-Op Engineer • Former EmployeeAustin, Texas, United StatesOctober 17, 2008Pros: The mentoring program was great. I was teamed with a brilliant employee who never hesitated to answer my questions. Other co-ops I worked with felt the same way. I started with tedious work, but as you prove yourself, opportunities open to work on real projects that full-time employees would work on.Cons: Space was cramped, as you had two, sometimes three people sharing a cubicle/office. They have a new building on Austin, so I don't know how that has changed with the move there.
