ASIC Design Verification Engineer Intern Interview Experience - Stuttgart, Germany
Process
The interview process involved several steps:
- First step: I was contacted by the recruiter via email.
- Second step: An initial technical screening with the DV team leader, covering topics such as OOP, classes, interfaces, and design patterns. General questions on formal verification and UVM were also discussed.
- Third step: Four technical assessments with different engineers from the team, delving deeper into design patterns and OOP. This included the examination of a simple circuit, with inquiries on how to verify its functionality and discuss verification strategies on CoderPad.
No coding exercises were included.
I did not receive the offer because I didn't delve into the details, despite answering all the questions correctly.
The process was time-consuming, and preparation took a significant amount of time.
A normal student with basic knowledge of UVM, even if not explicitly listed in the technical skills, would not be enough. You need to be overqualified to secure the internship.
