Phone interviews: Questions about my resume, about mutexes and semaphores like the difference and the , basic DSP questions like the equivalent of a sine wave in the frequency domain, showed code and asked to tell output(pretty basic testing the simple use of pointers and precedence operators), about the keyword volatile, about how I would debug code(using GDB). Onsite: About memory cache(spatial and temporal locality), garbage collection in Python, differences between SPI and I2C communication protocol. Questions about Linked list, where they gave me a paper with questions and asked to write code on the paper like an exam, which would be evaluated later by engineers in Austin- was not a very big fan of the way that this was conducted.
