Google Embedded Software Engineer Interview Preparation Guide - Junior Level

Google's Embedded SWE interview process for junior-level candidates emphasizes practical embedded systems knowledge and low-level programming proficiency. The interview loop includes an initial recruiter screening, technical phone screen rounds focused on C programming and embedded concepts, and multiple onsite rounds covering embedded systems fundamentals, coding under hardware constraints, system-level problem solving, and behavioral assessment. Unlike standard SWE interviews, embedded roles prioritize bit manipulation, memory optimization, hardware interaction understanding, and driver-level concepts over complex data structures and graph algorithms.
