FPGA/Emulation Engineer Interview Experience - Bengaluru, India
Process
I received a call from the recruitment HR team and got the interview scheduled with the hiring manager.
Once cleared, four rounds of technical interviews were scheduled on continuous days: two from India and two from the US.
Questions
The interview started with questions around my current job profile, targeting my understanding and comfort level in emulation on ZeBu, transactors, and the build runtime bring-up flow. Later, the interviewer entered a zone where I'm least exposed. It was typical validation questions, such as how to debug OS crash scenarios on an emulation platform. Probably at Google, everyone is expected to have a wider skill base, which I lacked.
