SoC Verification Engineer Interview Experience - Cupertino, California
Process
I interviewed for an SoC Verification Engineer role at Apple in Cupertino for an entry-level position (MS+0) in March 2024. It was a 45-minute phone screen interview. The first 15 minutes were solely dedicated to discussing my resume and most recent project (in my case, UVM-based verification). After that, I was asked to code a scoreboard in UVM or SV. The interview was very nice and supportive. Overall, a positive experience.
Questions
Write a scoreboard for verifying the average of 5 previous values, where the data is coming sequentially (i.e., 1 value at every posedge of clk).
