Product Test Engineer Interview Experience
Process
The first stage was a 10-minute phone interview with a PowerPoint presentation on an engineering-related topic (college projects, internships, etc.).
The next step was an all-day onsite interview with a lot of circuit analysis (mainly op-amp circuits not taught in the classroom, but solvable without too much trouble if you know the basics of op-amps).
There were a few basic C programming questions to check if you have ever done any programming.
There were a few questions on how you would approach a problem (broken PCB, inoperative circuit, etc.).
The onsite interview included a panel interview with a few members of the team as well.
There were a few behavioral questions sprinkled in as well.
Questions
Which circuit presents a lower input impedance to a voltage/circuit that needs amplification: an inverting or non-inverting amplifier configuration?

- 5.0Summer Engineering Intern ReviewProduct Test Engineer • Current EmployeeDallas, Texas, United StatesJuly 1, 2015Pros: You'll get to work on exciting, meaningful projects. You are also encouraged to speak up to your supervisor or even their supervisor if you are not enjoying your internship or receiving meaningful work. They will work with you to accommodate your skills. The full benefits as an intern are also great. It's never too early to start building a 401k. Paid vacation is a luxury, and the profit sharing and stock purchase plan still work as an intern. Additionally, if you are offered a full-time position, your start date for your job will be calculated from the start of your first internship, increasing the vacation you receive.Cons: You are expected to learn most things on your own. While the sink or swim technique will make sure you are worthy of the job, it can be daunting and intimidating. Your housing bonus will take about a month to come through, and about 30% of it will go right to taxes. You are also left mostly on your own with housing.
