ASIC Design Verification Engineer Interview Experience
Process
I applied online. The process took three weeks.
I had a technical phone screen, and then three to four interviews of roughly forty-five to fifty minutes each. The interviewers were really nice folks. This didn't feel like a typical DV interview. They really test the depth of your ASIC design knowledge.
Questions
Given a diagram, how would you verify a design and check output data? There were computer architecture basics and design questions.
