      Design Engineer Interview

      Jan 18, 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Tucson, AZ
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Garmin (Tucson, AZ) in Dec 2019

      Interview

      Interviews: + HR/behavioral phone (recruiter) + Technical phone (hiring manager) + On-site (6 separate interviews) The on-site interview started highly technical, then software block diagrams, project manager discussion, lunch interview with 3 managers, Arduino coding project, finished with a discussion about one of my projects. Make sure you can talk in-depth about your projects at internships, side projects, etc. Also, prepare questions in advance (of course). And practice the general questions (have stories to illustrate behavioral questions). Overall, the overall experience was quite good. Everyone was responsive, very interested in the work they do and the mission of the company. I usually heard back within a week after each interview, sometimes a just couple days. Ultimately turned down the offer because I received a more interesting offer.

      Question 1

      Design a software block diagram for a garage door opener.
