Embedded Software Engineer Interview Experience - Torrance, California

January 21, 2026
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.

Contacted by recruiter after applying online. 30 minute phone screen with recruiter that was 90% them talking about the company, a brief overview of resume, and 1 embedded related technical question (dynamic vs static allocation for embedded?). Followed by 30 minute technical interview (not coding) with full time embedded software engineer. Deep dive into resume experience with lots of technical follow-ups based on experience.

Overall very simple. Was very confident, interviewer said that they were very happy with my performance and that I'd hear back in 24-72 hours but after 1.5 weeks of radio silence, I was rejected. Overall good experience and lovely people, seems like timing may have just not worked out.
