Research And Development Engineer Interview Questions

14,215 research and development engineer interview questions shared by candidates

Although I wasn't interviewing for IT at all, I was placed in front of the head of IT initiatives who asked a bunch of tech questions I wasn't prepared for. Reason being, the HR rep, my second stop on the in-person interview, was out of the office that day. This was told to me as the first in-person discussion was ending. I am technically competent whoever was not interviewing for a tech position so I was scrambling to answer these questions a bit. The feeling at the end was that my answers didn't matter anyway. Time was just being filled until the next in-person appointment could be met.

I was interviewing for a build and release position, and after answering many relevant scripting and SCM questions, an interviewer who ran out of things to ask asked me to in detail describe, the process for a c write() command making it to disc. I was asked to describe all of the buffering, system calls, etc.
