2,600 sr systems engineer interview questions shared by candidates

1) Tell me what an autonomous system looks like. 2) Given a left turn we have an algorithm. We are trying to tell if it is faster. What is the dependent variable? What are sources of bias? 3) If algorithm A's median time is faster than algorithm B's median time in terms of the amount of time it takes for the vehicle to get from point A to point B, why might algorithm A not actually be any better than algorithm B? 4) Describe requirements and considerations associated with evaluating a new algorithm that enables a vehicle to get from point A to point B across a construction zone. 5) Why is lack of diversity in the workplace bad? 6) Name a time you had to change something you were designing and identify a metric by which you evaluated whether your change was good or not. 7) Name a time you made a mistake (asked twice in two different interviews). What did you learn from your mistake? Why'd you make it? 8) Name a time you had to negotiate requirements with stakeholders. 9) Describe requirements associated with predicting an ambulance's trajectory through a traffic pattern.
