I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at TuSimple (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2021
Interview
The interview process lasted close to a month to a month and a half. There were three technical rounds and feedback after each round was fairly quick. Overall it was a really smooth process. It was quite pleasant.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1) Questions about vehicle dynamics
2) Questions about MATLAB/Simulink modeling
3) Different controls algorithms like PID, Kalman filters, Pure Pursuit, etc.
oa: some leetcode problems. They are very difficult. That is why I did not pass this interview. Others are control theory questions. Asked very detailed about the design of control system.
Using codepair, starts with an initial general technical skills test, then video call.
The technical questions were coding-heavy and as a recent graduate from a rather theoretical robotics program, I was lacking the required coding experience.
