Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Richmond, Canada
Process
First, I was asked about my experience and complicated tasks I had to solve, along with the methods used for solving them. So, it was basically a conversation between two engineers about ways to solve this or that issue.
After an hour of one-on-one conversation, another engineer joined. That was a skill test. They asked basic questions regarding embedded software development, including:
- locks
- interrupts
- priority inversion
- ARM assembler semaphore operations
- issues with multi-CPU systems
Questions
ARM assembler semaphore operation command.
Show an example in assembler if this command was not provided.
2D maze general solution algorithm.
