Hello,
Was wondering if people could share their interview experience for embedded SW/firmware positions (any level). Types of questions,specific questions, format, resources they used to help study etc.
I see a lot of resources for SWE (Leetcode, EPI CTCI etc) but not a lot for embedded and not a lot of discussion. Hoping to get a discussion thread going on this topic. I think it would be useful for anyone aiming for these kinds of roles now and in the future.
Thank you

Surprised a company like WeWork was hiring for embedded.
Do you have any resources you reccomended to help study for the theory questions you encountered?
For instance, if you try and run a program in linux but it fails with no console output, you can use dmesg to identify if it tried to run an illegal instruction as well as the lib or exe that caused it. ldd can show dependent shared libraries for your application.
Multi threading is pretty popular too. Not just in the lc type questions, but also for optimization (ex: try to move locking to the part of the code that gets executed less often or try to use lock free programming). The lc multi threading qs are really good even though there's only like 10 of them.
Do you think/know if those come up for junior level positions or if its mostly for people with a few years of experience in the field?
Put that in your resume and they will probably get stuck with that and you can finish interview π
