Interview
Got an email hearing back after about 3 months since I applied. They told me which team was interested in my resume.
Scheduled a 30 minute behavioral interview with the director of the engineering team. They told me about the team, what they do, and asked questions about things on my resume.
Although the Ignite program is described as a pre-internship for underrepresented students from low resources, it seemed like the interviewer wasn't aware of that, never asked why I was interested in the program, asked about AGILE process and other software stuff that a sophomore wouldn't know, treated it like a regular SWE internship. I thought I did bad-ish, but I heard back a week later with good news.
Then they scheduled a 30 minute technical interview with a software engineer manager. No coding questions, just technical concepts related to machine. They also asked if I had a follow-up questions from the behavioral interview. Answered them really well and related to their hobbies. Heard back a month later telling me I did not get the offer. It was definitely because of the behavioral.

Interview
Video recorded screen hackerrank with around 90 minutes to complete; 2 leetcode easy problems with some basic concepts tested and hardware multiple choices to do with transistors, circuits and heat sinks.
2 Leetcode easy and medium (logic gates)
Should focus on operating system basics for Multiple choice questions (threads, cycles, forking, processes, system practices etc).
Please focus on low level systems. Good luck!
Video proctored Hackerrank with 2(?) coding problems and ~5 multiple choice. Coding problems could be done in any language and were fairly generic (ie. typical Leetcode). Multiple choice were more specific to NVIDIA, multiple questions asked about threading.
