Hardware Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The team was very receptive at a standard campus recruiting event.

They did an excellent job quickly and effectively screening candidates, while still connecting and doing more than just collecting resumes.

That's about where the process went downhill.

It seemed like the interviewer had little interest in being there and did not have an understanding of my background, despite having my resume/CV.

He asked the standard questions and presented the technical questions, but that was about it.

Questions

Primarily a technical interview, nothing too far out of left field, but definitely geared towards upperclassmen students.

We will review some basic circuits.
