Basic wireless communication, Multi input multi output, Computer networks, C programming, Data structures, Digital communication and analog communications. These topics you should have thorough knowledge It will be two rounds. First round will be 120 minutes and second round will be of 30 minutes
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All concepts from communication related, programming and signal processing
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at National Instruments (Bengaluru) in July 2020
Interview
I attended 3 rounds of interview which was for the position of Staff Software Engineer. All the 3 rounds were based on coding. The first round was an online coding round. The rest 2 were online interview in which the interviewer had given questions to be solved and I had to explain my solution and try solving it. My experience at the time of attending the interview was 2yrs10mnths

Question 1
Attended an interview with National Instruments(NI) recently.
Gave 3 coding rounds
Round 1:
Online coding test where 2 questions were asked and the duration was 2 Hrs.
question 1: Given an archer. He would not stop shooting arrows until and unless his average is more that 9. Score for few shots were given and we had to calculate the minimum number of shots he would have to play to get an average of 9.5 or more.
question 2: an array is given in which only 2 numbers can be swapped at a time. how many distinct arrays can be formed by this wat
ex: array[2,3,2,3,3]
result: 7
Rpund 2:
It was an online interview in which the interviewer gave 2 questions which t=were to be explained and solved
question are as below:

Round 3:
I got stuck with one question and could not proceed much
The question was based on preferential voting algorithm

Since I could not solve this question completely I was not taken for further rounds
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at National Instruments (Bengaluru)
Interview
I was attending the interview after a span of 8 working years, so experience was unique.
First round was 45 minutes telephonic. went on OK, called for f2f. 3 rounds of technical and last one with Group manager. In the first round, I was asked to write down the logic for couple of programs(1.nested tree 2.given three co-ordinates[(x1,y1) to (x3,y3)], check if the triangle is equivalence). The next round was puzzle solving. The 3rd round was on RF fundamentals (filter design, PA functioning etc). The last one with group manager was on my previous work experience and general expectations etc, here too I had one puzzle solving question
It was a great experience and the guys who interviewed me were cordial and nice, gave sufficient time to think and answer. Did help at couple of occasions providing hints.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. I wasn't good in the first round since my programming skills isn't that great. Couldn't answer either of the above two questions.
2. Be ready to answer some puzzles which could be easy for some and not-so-easy for individuals like me.
