Engineering Technician III Interview Experience - Austin, Texas
Process
Four interviews were conducted with three team leads and the hiring manager.
Multiple hardware failures and their symptoms were presented for triage, using real-world failing components.
Sub-systems were differentiated by the team lead interviewing.
System debug is expected to be performed during the interview process.
Candidates will talk through each step as triage is applied.
Questions
The system (P.C.) under test configuration was laid out and powered up on a lab bench with Memtest86+ running actively. The question asked was: "This system has a failure; you must find it. You have 15 minutes."
The memory failure happens each time in a different bank and/or rank when the failures occur. Memtest86+ is running with faults actively on test 1, and it is faulting.
