Applications Support Engineer Interview Experience - Natick, Massachusetts
Process
The initial phone contact consisted of typical questions about my overall interests, visa requirements, and possible start date.
This was followed approximately one week later by a brief telephone interview on technical concepts within the area of my choice (I chose Signals and Systems Analysis).
Questions were relatively basic and required familiarity with transforms, filtering, aliasing, etc.
The interview questions have been relatively easy so far, but a more difficult, in-depth onsite interview will follow.
Questions
What is the minimum sampling rate required to digitize the following signal such that the signal can be recovered without aliasing:
3cos(600πt).

MathWorks Work Experiences
- 4.0Good place for engineersApplications Support Engineer • Former EmployeeNatick, Massachusetts, United StatesJuly 7, 2025Pros: Nice culture and good colleagues to work with.Cons: Not much in terms of perks and salary.
- 1.0Too much micromanagement in EDGApplications Support Engineer • Current EmployeeNatick, Massachusetts, United StatesMay 24, 2015Pros: Modern workplace, with nice facilities including a gym and offices. Free breakfast on Wednesdays.Cons: Poor management at EDG. The managers tend to micromanage people and create a kindergarten-like atmosphere. EDG is a ruse for them to get technical support done by highly qualified people, and their values have diverged from the company's core values. Work/life balance is screwed up since you frequently have to work 12-hour days, and the hard work you put in is not appreciated but rather seen as standard expectations. None of the managers have technical skills, so they frequently try to evade questions by asking the same questions back to people. "What do you think?" is the most commonly used phrase here, and there is never any logical explanation for anything.
