Process

The interview process included:

  • Six technical rounds (including one with a Director)
  • One non-technical round with the hiring manager.

Prior to the onsite interview, a short phone screen was conducted one week prior. The onsite interview was very enjoyable, as the engineers asked me questions about real issues they were facing in taping out products.

Questions

Q: Mostly related to my PhD projects, and some general physical design ones. For example:

  • When can VDD degrade?
  • How to offset or cure IR drop issues?
  • How to fix timing at the post-route stage with minimum changes to the layout (i.e., avoid ECO place)?
