ROBOTICS × GPU KERNEL INTERVIEW PREP

Study.
Dream.
Become the goat.

열심히 공부하면, 꿈에서 길이 보인다. — Dani, the Jindo who became the GOAT, teaches the goat.dog way: drill the questions robotics startups and GPU teams actually ask.

원작 — The Origin

The Legend of goat.dog

Every GOAT has an origin story. Dani's began at a desk, long after midnight.

1 while(alive)   study(); SLAM C++ CUDA 한 문제만 더...
Dani studied. Every night. Kinematics, C++, CUDA. "Just one more problem..."
2 Z z z 02:47 AM — the night before the big interview.
Until the night before the big interview, when she finally ran out of coffee, and out of doubt.
3 STOP MEMORIZING. UNDERSTAND.
In her dream she climbed a golden mountain. At the summit stood the GOAT.
4 T = J⁻¹F __shfl_sync PID(Kp,Ki,Kd) O(n log n) the goat.dog way, passed down in light.
The GOAT gave her no answers, only the way: first principles, real problems, fearless practice.
5 뿔?!
She woke up changed. "Horns?!" And every problem suddenly looked... simple.
6 the goat.dog way: 1. understand deeply 2. drill real questions 3. defend trade-offs 4. become the GOAT GPU 같이 가자! Let's become GOATs.
Now she teaches the goat.dog way to every dog, robot, and GPU who dares to dream.

The goat.dog way

Robotics interviews don't grade memorized answers. Figure, Waabi, and 1X grade how you reason. So does Dani.

이해

Understand deeply

Goat Guides build first-principles intuition (from inverse kinematics to memory coalescing) before you touch a single problem.

수련

Drill real questions

Challenges sourced from what Figure AI, Anduril, NVIDIA, Waabi, and Together AI actually ask, graded on real hardware for the GPU track.

증명

Defend your trade-offs

Interviews are take-homes and code reviews, not trivia. Dani grades your design reasoning the way a staff engineer would.

두 개의 길 — Two Paths

Pick your mountain

Two tracks up the same peak. Dani has climbed both.
