I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at SmartHelio (Noida) in Apr 2026
Interview
Interview was good and was 3 rounds
Got rejected in last round because of system design but overall people are well spoken and make sure you feel friendly the process was also short was completed within a week.

I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at SmartHelio (Lausanne) in Jun 2025
Interview
The first step is typically an online interview to assess your background and general fit. This is followed by an online coding challenge to evaluate your technical skills. A technical review and deep dive of your code will then take place, leading to the final on-site interview where you'll meet the team in person.

Question 1
Develop an algorithm to calculate the area of a chimney's shadow on a tilted roof in the Himalayas. The algorithm must consider the specific location (latitude/longitude), the roof's slope and orientation, and the chimney's dimensions. The goal is to provide the shadow area for any given date and time, and to find the date and time when the smallest shadow occurs during the year.
Build a machine learning or deep learning model to detect anomalies in a photovoltaic (PV) power system. Using provided time-series data (expected and actual power output), the model should identify when the system is underperforming due to factors like shading or component failure. The task involves explaining the data analysis, the chosen model, the training process for unlabeled data, and visualizing the detected anomalies.
