Don't read much on a single topic.
SWE:
v-cycle,SW Requirements Specification,SW Design,& diff bet both
static and dynamic architecture,testing categories,
configuration managements
C & embedded C:
some functions to comment on it as:
switch case(one of the cases without break)
postincrement and preincrement(++i,i++)->Result
#define?? #include?? #pragma?? #asm?? #ifdef...#endif?
const?? extern?? volatile?? static?? register??
'int' type?? 'unsigned char' type?? (size)
static and dynamic variables
diff. bet function and Macros
???????????? some MISRA rules
specifications of embedded SW
embedded system:
Real time??
Input capture??
Input capture is a method of dealing with input signals in an embedded
system.
Embedded systems using input capture will record a timestamp in memory when
an input signal is received. It will also set a flag indicating that an input has
been captured. This allows the system to continue executing without interruption
while an input is being received while still having the capability to trigger
events based on the exact time when the input was received.
on activating an interrupt??
synchronous and asynchronous??
certain freq->pll*4,divider by 2=??
PWM?? (what parameters specify PWM?)
difference between microprocessor and microcontroller??
CAN and LIN?? (CAN is multi-master and Lin is single master)
deadlock??
simulator and emulator??
CPU load??
stack??
HR Interview(in Engilsh):
introduce yourself
an achievement in your life
point of strength and weakness in you
hard situation
leader member situation
do you see yourself a successful leader?
team member situation
graduation projects
why do you want to work in our company?
what do you think you will add to our company?

You will find below the topics which you need to cover in order to pass easily the
exams and the technical interviews. I marked the important points to concentrate
on.
C / embedded C - Important
You need to read a complete reference book for C. Skip the info which you already
know , and concentrate on the points which you don't know. Ignore any chapters
speaking about strings, reading or writing to files or C built-in libraries.
Concentrate on: Different C Types and their sizes & Type casting & Use of Volatile
keyword & Use of # preprocessor operator
Embedded Systems Concepts
Review the main concepts of Real time embedded systems and Real time OS (RTOS) -
Imp.
Study the SW Life Cycle (named V Cycle) - Imp.
Study the difference between Validation and Verification - Imp.
Study the difference between the different types of testing, (unit testing,
integration testing and validation) - Imp.
Difference between Simulator, Debugger and Emulator - Imp.
Read about Model based development - Just know the idea
Pre-compile , Link time and post build configuration
Benefits of XML
You need to have an experience with one microcontroller atleast
Automotive
Understand the need of multiple ECUs in cars and check some examples of ECUs (ex.
Climate control, Wipers, Engine management)
Know how different ECUs communicate and make a brief reading of the different bus
used in the cars (LIN and CAN) - Imp.
Read about the car diagnostics (UDS and OBD) - Just know the idea
Read about AUTOSAR standard (Benefits and Architecture)
If there is something which is not clear , please let me know.
If the HR called you for the exams or to make the interviews, please let me know

About the exam really I don't know the current exam here in Valeo, but you should
be strong in C and you can review it from the following link
http://aelinik.free.fr/c/ , and try to read about software process (Types,
techniques.... ), and at last they will ask you about a controller you have worked
on it. About the HR interview you can read on the internet about HR interviews
hints it always be the same and try to be semantic and simple in your answers and
confident and not to be nervous, Mowafak inshaa ALLAH.
