The system engineers design and coordinates large as well as complex projects known as the systems. It can be a computer system as well. The technical support engineers are no body else but the system engineer. However system can be airplane as well. It can be any thing. But in this article I am going to talk about the system engineer related to computers. The average salary can be about $75000 per annum.
Some of the interview questions are as follows:
1. What is a deadlock?
Sometimes the processor has to solve multiple processes. It does happen that working on one process hinders the other process. Hence none of the two processes will be completed. If the proper timeout is not set then the system will face the problem of deadlock.
2. In which case the deadlock is more dangerous? Distributed system or operating system.
Deadlock is definitely very difficult in case of distributed system because semaphore is absent in case of distributed system. However it is present in case of operating system and hence the deadlock can be easily handled.
3. Do you know what is the importance of inter process communication?
Yes, it is a very important property for the operating system and helps in implementing multitasking and multiprogramming.
4. Give one example of deadlock situation?
One of the best examples is the traveling salesman problem.
5. What does SJF means in CPU scheduling?
It stands for the shortest job first. If the CPU will follow this scheme then it will at first sort all the process according to their length. It will pick up the smallest process at first and then continue the process in ascending order.
6. Which is better an operating system? Window or UNIX?
If your work is quite simple then you should definitely use the windows but if the work is a bit complex one then you should definitely use the UNIX.
7. What is PINE?
Pine is a UNIX text editor.
8. Have you ever worked as a system engineer?
Yes my first job was that of system engineer.
9. On which platform were the office members working?
They used to work on windows XP.
10. How comfortable you were with your job?
I really enjoyed as far as my job is concerned. I really had a good time.
11. What is your educational qualification?
I am an IT engineer. I have completed my engineering in the year 2007.
These are some of the questions which can be asked from you. Let me tell you one more thing that you should practice hard. Only then you will be able to clear the interview round.
