I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Marquardt (Sibiu) in Aug 2021
Interview
3 interviews
1 screening, 1 remote with manager, 1 on-site with IT director and IT manager
1 interview with a manager from Germany, talking about my profile and past successful deals and projects.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Experience, track record, years of employment, previous roles, technology competences. language skills. A lot of questions related to past projects and how I successfully implement them.
Despite having completed four interviews, the recruiter seemed more focused on salary expectations than on my qualifications. After the final interview, I was left waiting for feedback regarding the outcome, but the company never followed up or provided any response.
The interview process began with an HR screening call that focused on my background, notice period, and salary expectations. Then, I had a technical interview with an engineering manager and a senior developer. They asked deep questions about embedded C, microcontroller architecture, and real-time systems. I was also asked to explain how I’d handle interrupt handling and memory management. The final round was more about system-level thinking and how I'd approach debugging complex issues in automotive applications. It was challenging but insightful.

Can you explain how an interrupt is handled in a microcontroller, and what happens if an interrupt occurs during another interrupt?
