Process
1st round: Recruiter phone screen.
2nd round: Online coding assessment in embedded C. 5 questions. Questions were not too hard but required familiarity with C for timing.
3rd round: Coding interview with an engineer.
4th round: Coding interview with an engineer.
Although I did pretty well in all of them, I was notified that they expected someone with more embedded background, so I was not moved forward.
Questions
My background with Embedded Systems.
Some basic embedded C problems.
Some state machine coding in C.
Some string manipulation coding in C.
And more.
