Applications Support Engineer Interview Experience
Process
First pre-recorded interview, same as others on this site.
Second round technical interview. All of the questions are already here, with no exceptions. I chose embedded systems. The only two questions that were a little unexpected:
-
How do you expand (A ∩ B) U C? Answer: (A U C) ∩ (B U C)
-
Given a vector with random numbers, how would you delete all elements that are divisible by 5? My answer: A = A(mod(A, 5)~=0). However, I am not sure if
A(mod(A, 5) == 0) = []would be better in terms of space complexity. -
What is the difference between an RTOS and a general-purpose OS? My answer: Size, support for priority-based preemptive scheduling, support for priority inversion protocols, provision of high-resolution timers, and efficient handling of aperiodic events.
