I applied online. I interviewed at Kyocera (San Diego, CA) in May 2026
Interview
The interview process was straightforward and conversational. I spoke with the team about my background, technical interests, and past software/data projects. Most of the interview focused on walking through a full-stack project I had worked on, explaining my role, the technical decisions I made, and how I approached debugging and building for real users. They also asked a few practical software engineering and system design-style questions related to CI/CD, testing, reliability, and designing software for a manufacturing environment.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: Tell me about a technical project you worked on and what your role was.
Q: How would you design software for a large manufacturing facility if reliable Wi-Fi was not available everywhere?
Q: What would you include in a CI/CD pipeline to make sure new code changes do not break existing functionality?
