Hardware Engineering Interview Experience - United States
Process
They had a technical screening first, which involved implementing a real-life trading problem with SystemVerilog. 120 minutes were given to that.
It's a basic sequential problem, and I was given a technical interview with an engineer afterward. He asked about tradeoffs if the problem had different constraints, such as if 100 more sequences were added, how would that affect my solution, etc.
Questions
If the constant that we need to compare is increased from 6 to 100, then what happens with your machine?
How would you fix it? What would you do?
How would you implement it in Verilog without using so much time on coding?
