I applied through college or university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at DMC (Boston, MA) in Oct 2016
Interview
Did an on campus interview. Asked a series of technical questions covering circuits, and programming. Then did onsite and answered similar technical questions to before but with different team members. Went out to lunch with the whole office. Discussed next steps.

Question 1
Analyze an encoder waveform to determine the number of ticks
Same info you see from the rest of the people posting. Great team sadly didn't get the job but would definitely apply again next cycle. Started with an on campus interview at UMD followed by a superday onsite.

Lots of problems on worksheets working with one other engineer. They were very helpful and allowed you to work through the problems. Process was very enjoyable. Not much can be done to better prepare for it.

I applied through college or university. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at DMC in Nov 2022
Interview
After talking to someone at a career fair, I had an on campus interview shortly after. During this interview, I mostly filled out some worksheets that outlined simple engineering/math problems and did not have a lot of time to chat otherwise. Soon after I was invited to an onsite interview day, which lasted 5 hours. I had 3 different technical interviews, which covered some coding logic, debugging, and design questions. I was able to talk through my answers and had time to ask about the experience of my interviewers, who were engineers at DMC. I got a tour of the office and went out to lunch with the team. The end was a phone screen with an HR person in another office, as well as a phone screen with the regional manager.
