Hardware Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
A single day of 4-round technical interviews with the hiring manager asking very tough and technical questions about the role and device that I would be working on.
One of the team members of the team I was joining also interviewed me and asked equally challenging but different questions about speaker design, mechanics, and electronics involved in the audio hardware.
The last two interviews were with a product design engineer and a program manager.
There was also a lunch session, so I got to experience the Google food offering before getting started.
