A recruiter reached out to me about three weeks after I applied for this position to schedule an interview with the hiring manager.
The meeting is 30 minutes and takes place over Webex.
The hiring manager I spoke to was extremely nice; he was the Engineering Manager of the team I was interviewing for. This was a logic design position on an FPGA engineering team.
They were looking for someone who knew Verilog. I believe that was a factor in the questions they asked, too.
But good luck!
