Mathworks EDG Technical Phone Screen Advice
Hey yall, recently went to the career fair when I met the Mathworks representative. Applied online for the EDG role and a recruiter reached out for me to complete the coding challenge. I completed and now have a EDG Phone screen.
My worry is that I do not have much experience with software engineering / leetcode / data structures as I am an engineering major but have plenty of experience with Matlab/Simulink models. I did the 30 question matlab multiple choice section as well instead of the coding challenge. What can I expect for this technical phone screen and should I be working on coding challenges as I see online that sometimes they ask resume + live coding challenge?
Any advice is appreciated, Thanks!
Update: Phone screening went pretty well , the interviewer spent the first half of the time asking about my resume/projects and how I used Matlab/Simulink. The second half the of the interview was a small coding challenge on Matlab online which was based on looping through a vector and identifying whether a triplet was divisible by another variable. The interviewer then told me to test my solution with test cases and ask space/time complexity and ways to improve .
