Design engineer ii Interview Questions

Assume ping pong balls are ~ 40x40x40 mm^3 cubes.

The model of ping-pong ball should be regarded as body-centered cubic structure, so for D^3 (D is 2 times of single ball) volume, it is stands for 2 balls.

I previously research the company to ask questions

Interview was pretty straight forward and easy

half way through senior design project, we totally changed our approach and design to meet the customers expectations and to differentiate ourselves from competing teams. We all received good marks.

FSM is a Finite State Machine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite-state_machine

A FIFO buffer using the source clock to drive the write pointer and the destination clock as the read pointer.

I won't provide answers to the puzzle questions above, as that would just be cheating :), however, I will say that the point of the questions is not the right answers, it is more to see how you think and react under pressure. As far as technical questions, those are job specific, but be prepared to speak about how you deal with difficult people in a challenging work environment to get the information and actions you need to be efficient in your job while maintaining a positive relationship with individuals in the workplace.
