I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at National Instruments (Austin, TX) in Oct 2011
Interview
It was a on-campus interview, i got the interview on the university career fair. It lasted about 45 mins. The recruiter first asked one of my school project. He seemed to be very interested that and asked a lot of questions. Then followed by one technical question. It was a pattern detection question using finite state machine. If you have a course in digital logic design, this should not be a problem. Then came with one behavior question: what was the biggest problem or bug or difficulty that you once came to? I heard about this question so I prepared for it. Overall I think I did pretty well on the interview, but I didn't make it to the on-site interview. I guess they want to hire more analog guys. There are not actually many digital positions opening--that's what I heard from my friend working there.

I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at National Instruments (Atlanta, GA) in Feb 2016
Interview
it is a 30-45 mins 1-1 interview locating at a hotel conference room near my college.
I met the interviewer on the campus career fair and info session.
They let me choose to have technical or behavior interview first.
The overall interview is not that hard.

Interview
On-campus interview. It was two behavioral questions plus some technical questions. I was interviewed by two hardware engineers. They were cordial and very helpful. They helped me along when I was unsure of how to proceed with the problem. They were planning to ask me more technical questions, but we ran out of time.

Question 1
Describe a time when you had to research something and apply it to your project.
Design a circuit for a 101 detector.
Design a circuit for a 101 detector, and let the output be high for 3 clock cycles after sequence detected.
I applied through university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at National Instruments (Ann Arbor, MI) in Oct 2015
Interview
The intern interview lasts about 45 minutes and includes 3 parts: 1) ask some personal information like visa status, graduation date. 2) ask you to describe two personal experiences on problem solving and designing. 3) Give you 15 minutes to solve a problem on digital circuit. Of course, the rest of time is Q&A

Question 1
Describe a experience that you encounter a difficult problem which takes you a very long time, says months, to solve it. What's the problem and how did you figure out and solve it?
