Cognex QA Engineer Interview

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Framingham, MA (took 2 weeks)

Had great phone screen with both QA managers for contract to hire; went over my experience and addressed the manager’s skill requirement and they told me they wanted me for face to face.
First, I met the HR person; he clarified expectation and company’s policies. Then I met Product Manager who focused on skills required QA responsibility and he had some behavioral questions. I also met the QA manager; seemed very nice, focused questions on testing approach, planning, need for scripting expertise and programing skills I think are big plus.
They were kind enough to respond: I was told they needed someone with more programing skills than mine. I think, ideal candidate is a junior programmer looking to do testing and QA engineering.
