Hi Guys, I am preparing for a SW embedded interview loop with Google (L5 / L6). There will be 1 round of domain expertise interview on embedded systems and 1 embedded system design. What kind of questions can one expect? I am familiar with system design interview questions that may be asked during a regular software engineering interviews, but no idea what this could be for embedded system design. Is the domain expertise interview some kind of project retrospective or more like open ended questions about embedded SW stuff? Please advise. Thanks ! #engineering #software #embedded #embeddedsystemdesign #google #interview
Does Google not ask general leetcode dsa question(same like software engineers)?
For embedded specialty it's a combo. Many general questions. One domain specific. Same for security focus.
OP, can you follow up on what you were asked?
Still prepping, haven’t interviewed yet. Are you also in the process?
Not yet, but might sometime. So I was wondering!
Also are embedded roles at google CA only or will they allow work at the NYC office?
No idea. This is for Bay Area
They can ask about setting up a communication protocol (spi i2c etc), programming interrupts, scheduling techniques. Prepare for pros/cons and tradeoffs for these.
Following
Yes please understand how interrupts work. Many embedded candidates don't.

Usually domain specific coding question. Something that checks your understanding of how real-time systems, low level drivers/ micro kernel interactions work etc.
For the domain expertise round it will be some coding questions?
Usually. If for lvl 5 above might be Integrated into system design I believe
