Senior Software and Controls Engineer - Legged Robots Interview Experience - Austin, Texas
Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week.
Two rounds of interviews (not including initial phone screening with recruiter). Was asked standard questions testing knowledge of/familiarity with controls, robot dynamics, etc. Asked to provide samples of code I had recently written for robotics-related projects.
I really enjoyed the interviews. Besides the role itself being interesting/challenging/aligned with my background, I also got a really good vibe about the company and the people there.

Q1: What papers have you read recently (that pertain to robotics)?
Q2: Explain what an LQR controller is.
