Process

The first round is a recorded video interview covering HR questions.

The second round is a technical phone interview.

  • Given a matrix, determine if it has an inverse and find its rank.
  • Given two vectors, how to find other vectors perpendicular to them.
  • Given the function of velocity, find position and acceleration.
  • Eigenvector and eigenvalue.
  • Limit of exp(x)/x as x approaches infinity.
  • Definite and indefinite integrals.

Digital Signal Processing (DSP):

  • Convolution.
  • Auto-correlation.
  • IIR and FIR filters.
  • Nyquist theorem and aliasing.
  • How to determine the stability of a discrete system.
  • Discrete-valued signal versus discrete-time signal.

Programming:

  • Global scope and local scope.
  • Recursive functions.
  • Call by value and call by reference.
  • Null pointers.

C:

  • #define and #include directives.
  • Inline functions.
  • Dynamic and static memory allocation.

Matlab:

  • Difference between * and .*.
  • Functions and scripts.
