Process

A full-day meeting with members of the team, managers, and some cross-group members. Every 30 minutes, a new person arrived.

It was very well organized, and each person listened well and asked questions about what was on my resume.

Know what is on your resume! I did not have a problem with that, but this is the simplest of rules.

Whiteboards surrounded the room, so I was often asked to sketch out what I was thinking. This gives the interviewer an idea of how you think and how you can communicate technical ideas.

Questions

Describe the components of a boost circuit that you worked on and what each component does.

How would you change your tracks to maintain impedance if your core spacing needed to double?
