2,109 principal research engineer interview questions shared by candidates

The most unexpected question was one about a particular technical issue with the platform I was to work with. I was asked how I would create a dynamic looping mechanism within the tool under a scenario where the system would spawn X sub-processes across business units based on process-level meta data. I was able to answer how it can be done on another platform, but informed them the platform we were discussing did not have the feature. As such, I stated they would have to custom code an external service to generate the sub-processes. Many follow-up questions were posed which made it obvious I was being asked to consult on the interviewer's current project problem.
