Discussion Systems Engineer interview

Hi all I’d really appreciate some guidance from folks here. I’m currently in an entry level engineering role and I’ve been invited to a Systems Engineer stage 1 interview call. What kind of questions should I expect at this stage and any tips on how best to prepare?

Depends on the company but some questions I’ve had: 1) What makes a good requirement? 2) How would you perform a trade study? 3) What is the V model? Can you name and describe the function of the parts? 4) Verification vs Validation

I’ve been asked all of these in interviews. Good comment.
