Process

There were two rounds of interviews: one behavioral (in person) and one technical (video chat).

Overall, very easy technical questions, with the usual behavioral questions you can expect.

There were some technical issues with the video chat that had the interview get off to a shaky start, but overall it was a very easy interview.

Questions

Explain a voltage divider.

Explain how a low-pass and high-pass filter work.

Explain how I2C communication works.
