Pre Silicon Verification Interview Experience - Santa Clara, California
Process
I had a 1-hour phone interview for pre-silicon verification. The interviewer was nice and very experienced, with a background more in RTL coding.
He asked questions entirely on computer architecture subjects, such as:
- Pipelining and its hazards
- Cache memories
- Virtual memories
He also asked about my VHDL knowledge and when I last used it.
There was one digital logic question, which was quite easy.
This was for a recent college graduate position.
Good luck!
Questions
