Hardware Test Engineer Interview Experience - West Lafayette, Indiana
Process
I was invited to attend an interview at Purdue.
The interview was set in a small office.
Only one person interviewed me, and he said he's working as a Hardware Test Engineer on Surface products.
The interview took about half an hour, and most of the time, you'll have to be working on a written test with about six electrical engineering questions.
Questions
Nothing difficult.
Just some basic EE questions about:
- MOSFET and BJT
- Flip-flops
- Cutoff frequency
- Time delay
- Asynchronous circuits
- Op-amps
- And etc.
Was this helpful?
