Had a phone interview, which went well. The engineer asked me to elaborate on my experience and asked questions accordingly. Described in detail the company and their expectations. Then an online test with hackerrank for embedded questions

Application
I interviewed at Formlabs (Somerville, MA)
Interview
Recruiter screening, timed take home coding with language of your choice, onsite interview that involves debugging, problem solving with programming diagrams, general behavioral, etc. An office tour was provided too.
The process started with a short recruiter call about my background and interest in embedded systems. Then I had a technical interview that included C/C++ coding questions, debugging scenarios, and some system design discussion. The interviewers were friendly and gave helpful hints.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain how you would debug a memory leak in C.
How do interrupts work in embedded systems?
Walk me through a project where you worked with hardware and software integration.
HR was a lightning fast talker, but kind and respectful. The other interviewer was quiet the whole time. I hope he still got a good impression too. That is all I can remember. They feel a bit startup-y.
