Pre-Silicon Validation Engineering Interview Experience - Irvine, California
Process
I had one phone screen and then a two-hour on-site interview.
The phone screen asked basic questions on object-oriented programming and finite state machines.
I was then invited to an on-site interview where I was interviewed by four different team members for 30 minutes each. It was relaxed, and the interviewers were friendly.
Questions
There were questions on logic, digital logic (FSM, simplifying Karnaugh maps), and a short programming test.
