Hi everyone, I recently

passed the take-home assignment for the Senior Software Engineer, User Space role at NVIDIA and have a 2-hour interview scheduled soon. I’m trying to get a better understanding of what to expect during this interview and how best to prepare. The role involves DPDK PMD drivers and DOCA flow development and while I have solid backend and C systems knowledge, I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through this interview loop. * What topics did they focus on during the interview (e.g., C/C++, memory management, multithreading, kernel/user space interaction, networking)? * Was it more system design, coding, or low-level debugging? * Any specific areas you'd recommend brushing up on? * What's the overall process like after the technical interview? Would love to hear your experience or any pointers. thanks in advance!
