This guide is based on general FAANG interview practices and may not reflect specific company procedures.
Entry-level embedded developer interviews at FAANG companies typically follow a structured progression: initial recruiter screen, online coding assessment, technical phone screen covering embedded fundamentals, followed by 3-4 on-site interview rounds including coding interviews, embedded systems technical depth, basic system design thinking, and behavioral assessment. The process emphasizes algorithmic problem-solving foundation, practical embedded systems knowledge (microcontrollers, firmware, RTOS, peripheral interfacing), debugging ability, and cultural fit. Total duration spans 4-8 weeks from initial contact to offer.
