Process
Two phone interviews were conducted.
First, I spoke with the project host. They asked general technique questions, such as how to design IC timing or how to solve specific security problems.
Second, I spoke with another engineer in the same group. This interview focused on more specific technical questions, especially coding exercises done in a Google Doc.
Both interviewers were friendly. They explained their solutions after each question.
Questions
Basic Verilog coding on Google Docs.
