For the GPU team:

I was contacted by HR, followed by two phone screens.

First screen: Manager

• General questions from resume, experience, various verification environments, SV constraint solver.
• Functional coverage.

Second screen: Team member

• UVM questions: TLM? Phases? Build is top-down?
• Coverage?
• GPU pipeline overview.
• How the scoreboard was implemented.
• UVM monitors.
• UVM TLM FIFO implementation.
• SV knowledge?

I performed very well in both interviews, but management chose to hire an internal candidate who had better experience.

Is the run phase top-down or bottom-up?
