I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Nextracker (Fremont, CA) in June 2016

Interview is simple and revolving around the basics of embedded systems like communication protocols such as UART, SPI, I2C and lot of questions on SPI; C programming, resume walkthrough, project related questions and hardware debugging issues.
