I received a phone call to set up an interview. It was a phone interview.

They spoke about the position and later asked about an academic project. Questions were about a sequence detector, assembly code to alter particular bits, Perl, and C++.

I was also asked about the difference between blocking and non-blocking assignments in Verilog.

For the sequence detector, the target sequence was 1101. After I came up with a state diagram (they said either Mealy or Moore would suffice), they asked me to explain it using a sample sequence and to confirm if my state diagram satisfied any given sequence.

The C++ portion involved concepts only, with no coding required.

There were no unexpected questions. All the questions were moderate.
