Hardware Test Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied online, and the process took four weeks.

  • First round was a screening call with a recruiter who sent company culture and "recent" wins articles prior to the session. That session mainly consisted of why you applied and how you'd fit the culture. It was an overall easy and positive time. I was told I'd get a response in a week or two and if not, to email them. I didn't email them, but I did get a second scheduled email after three or four weeks.
  • Second round was interviewed by the team lead (?) for the department, but they were late by 10 minutes and directly went into talking about the position. They asked relatively simple EE questions like equations of certain Op-Amps, capacitors, and inductors. Though, they had me sketch (with paper) a waveform and describe where you'd sample it. Part way through this whole session they left abruptly for a few minutes. Despite all this time taken away from the interview, they finished exactly when the interview was scheduled to conclude. Though personally, I didn't want to progress regardless because a panel onsite presentation interview would be needed next.
