Process

I applied online and received a call from an AMD recruiter stating I would have a phone interview. After two days, three people interviewed me on the phone: a manager, a team lead, and one other person. The phone interview was easy for me. They asked a couple of questions from my resume and a few behavioral questions, such as teamwork and dealing with a difficult project mate.

At AMD, you need to know Perl, Java, Python, C++, and C.

For the onsite interview, eight people interviewed me from 9 AM to 4:30 PM, with one-on-one sessions. The interviews went well. Mostly basic questions were asked.

Round 1: Basic RLC questions, questions from my resume, high-speed circuits, and transmission lines. Round 2: C++ code, recursive functions, etc. Round 3: Test engineering questions, debugging skills, 5-6 behavioral questions, and practical problems they face at AMD during projects. Round 4: A puzzle, diode vs. temperature, another puzzle, C programming, and behavioral questions. Round 5: A three-page Java code, debugging it, and understanding the code. Round 6: Manager – described the job, asked about statistics, and different behavioral questions, followed by normal chit-chat. Round 7: Basic EE questions (digital and analog) and test equipment setup. Round 8: Manager – basic questions, a set of diagrams, test teams, promotions, group dynamics, etc.
