5,137 hardware development engineer interview questions shared by candidates

- Code an in-place linked list reverse - Code an STL iterator - Brainteasers There were the types of brainteasers that Google recently got rid of. You either know them or you don't. I did not practice brainteasers in my preparation, so I bombed these. I interview a lot of people, and I can't fathom what this team gets out of these questions. If you find yourself studying brainteasers to get a job, that's a sign that the interview process is absurd.

1. What ways can you increase the damping in a camera actuator mechanism? 2. Draw voltage divider bias circuit and derive the output voltage. 3. Give some examples of MEMS devices that fail by ESD/EOS failure mechanism. 4. Why can't an airplane fly into outer space? 5. Cantilever beam-what point of application of force will cause the earliest failure? 6. How would you model a torque force in a FEA model?
