I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Lutron Electronics (Austin, TX) in Jul 2021
Interview
It was all online
During the first interview, he made sure I fit the requirements for the job and he talked about the company and talked about some projects on my resume. It lasted 30 minutes.
I passed and went to the 2nd round with a different person. Which is the "technical" interview. We introduced ourselves and he asked a little about my senior design project. I was given a single technical question. I was asked to write a function that is equivalent to "malloc()". He gave me a few tips to get me through it, and while doing that, he asked little questions such as; "are local variables stored in the heap or stack","explain what the lines of code that you wrote are doing","what variable allows you to define the amount of bytes to get". It lasted 30 minutes.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Lutron Electronics (New York, NY) in Feb 2026
Interview
Applied online. They sent an email scheduling an interview with a senior employee. During the interview he first talked about the company and then went into the technical part of the interview. Where it was mostly OOP type questions and pointer manipulation. Everything was done was on this live notepad website, no IDE, he would copy and paste your code to see if it would run. Very nice guy, however, I am not the best programmer, mostly a hardware guy. Did not allow me to write on a piece of paper, cameras on, does not record your screen.
Not hard, very straight forward. But I didn't know it was a technical I assumed it would be a behavioral only. I feel like I'll do way better if I tried again because now I know there first interview is straight to the point
