Applications Support Engineer Interview Experience
Process
Applied online and received a response the same week.
First round was as described here – mostly behavioral questions such as: How you handle multiple deadlines. Why you think you are a good fit for the position.
Second round was a technical telephone interview. Some of the questions were:
- Programming: I chose C and was asked about
malloc. - Matlab: Graph plotting commands (how do you select the color of the plot).
- Signal Processing: Convolve two signals.
- Linear Algebra: Find the angle between two vectors.
The scope was just as was described by other posts on this website.
Questions
I wasn't fully prepared for some of the signal processing questions.
