Platform Emulation Co-op Engineer Interview Experience - Boxborough, Massachusetts
Process
The first round of the AMD Platform Verification interview was entirely technical, with no behavioral questions.
It focused on assessing my proficiency in Python and Verilog.
Specific questions included:
- Using Python to parse and process files, likely relevant for automation in verification workflows.
- Block RAM (BRAM) in Verilog, such as how it's instantiated and used in hardware design.
Additionally, the interviewer discussed some of my past projects to understand my hands-on experience and technical contributions.
Questions
How would you parse through a Vivado compilation text report using a language you are comfortable with?
How would you combine two 1W1R BlockRAM modules to make a 1W2R BlockRAM module? What about 2W1R?
