Process
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks.
- One screening call with the recruiter and then a follow-up meeting with a team lead and team member.
- The first was just to see what you're interested in.
- The second was more to see if you fit the role.
There is also a coding challenge after the screening.
Questions
How would you debug the autonomous stack if you found that a drone was taking off and immediately flipping over?
