I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at National Instruments (Austin, TX) in Oct 2015
Interview
The interview consists of two parts: behavior questions and technical questions. The questions are not very tricky, and you should prepare for those behavior questions by searching for general interview behavior questions. Technical questions are just vague, pay attention to the details. One thing needs to be pointed out is that always keep the big picture in your mind. for example, what would you do if something did not work out? What part could possibly go wrong. I believe this would help you prepare for the interviews better.

I somehow managed to get to the second round of interviews; however, they never scheduled one with me. At first, they said it was a mix up in management and that I should wait a bit longer. I did. After a while, I tried to reach out to figure out what was happening, no one ever got back to me. Completely unprofessional.

If I wanted to record myself using a microphone and produce sound on a speaker, how would I go about doing so?
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at National Instruments (Nashville, TN) in Sep 2019
Interview
It was an on campus interview after talking to a recruiter at my school's job fair. It wasn't very high stress and the interviewer was very nice. During the software and hardware questions be sure to explain your thought process, they just wanna know how you think.

Question 1
After you tell them about a time you failed, they will ask if there were any positives or good things that happened in that situation.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at National Instruments in Sep 2019
Interview
talked to them at career fair. One of the guys then gave me a call at 8.30pm that same day to tell me to come in for an on campus interview the next day. The interview wasn't hard at all especially if you go through the interview questions on here first. Same format: 1 software, 1 hardware. They took forever to get back to you after the interview (over a month). I think they look for confidence more than a right answer. So even if you don't know something, talk like you own it. I just knew this position wasn't a fit for me since it's a technical support role (look up Application Engineers). I only came in for a practice, didn't even apply. If you wanna do hands on engineering designs, this is not for you
