job interview questions
Hey everyone,
I have an upcoming interview for a robotics/electronics R&D internship and wanted to understand what kinds of technical questions interviewers usually ask for these roles.
The role broadly involves:
- Working with robotic systems and prototyping
- ROS, sensor integration, mechatronics
- Microcontrollers, embedded systems
- Electronic circuits, control systems, automation
- Basic understanding of PCB design / circuit simulation
- Research, testing, debugging, and data analysis
- Cross-functional engineering work with R&D teams
My background/projects are stronger on the robotics + embedded side (sensor integration, LiDAR/camera/IMU, serial communication, ROS concepts, microcontrollers, etc.).
Apart from “explain your project,” what technical questions would you expect for an internship like this?
For example:
- What fundamentals should I revise deeply?
- How much electronics theory do they usually ask (KCL/KVL, op-amps, motors, embedded, communication protocols, etc.)?
- Do they usually ask coding/problem-solving or mostly practical engineering questions?
- Any real interview experiences for robotics/electronics R&D internships?
Would really appreciate examples of actual questions you’ve been asked.
