It's essential to demonstrate that you can really go deep... there are plenty of followup questions and (sometimes tangential) angles to explore. There's a lot of Embedded Systems Engineer experts who've worked at Zoox, who provide this sort of practice through mock interviews. There's a whole list of them curated on Prepfully. prepfully.com/practice-interviews Less
There was mostly technical questions like determine the output of a voltage divider and what it would represent in a 10-Bit decimal number?

I was in that interview as well. The question was "what is the range of a 10-bit analog to digital converter?" You have a 1024-bit range with starting index of 0. Thus, 0-1023 is the correct answer. Less
Questions were asked on Logic Design, Aptitude and also Microprocessors
2 Answers↳
My interview was a little bit different. I applied for digital domain initially for the written exam. After clearing the written exam I was sent into the Panel of logic design(there were three panels for three domains i.e. digital, embedded, analog) wherein he asked me some questions on logic design where i was unable to answer them completely. Therefore he gave me a choice to select one among three(C programming, aptitude, logic design) for the questions to be asked. I chose aptitude. He gave me 5 puzzles in which I was able to crack 4 of them. Later I was sent to the Embedded panel where he drilled down on microprocessors. I was able to perform well there. This entire process took around 3 hours to complete. Overall it was a very good experience. They'll surely test you on your subject knowledge. Less
