I have applied to Microchip from college as a part of placement process in my final year of bachelor's degree. There will be an online written test that comprised of 5 different categories like C programming, Aptitude, Digital and Analog Electronics, Microprocessors.

Later to the written test, multiple technical rounds of interviews are conducted. The count of technical interviews is not certain. I was scrutinized with 3 technical rounds followed by 1 HR round.

In my first interview they asked me to explain how I2C protocol works along with its data flow and timing diagram.

Later I was asked how a gyro sensor works internally at chip level.

Later to that I am identified with my good PCB design skills and they showed me a schematic diagram where I am asked to identify the function of a small noise attenuation circuitry.

In 3rd round I am asked to show the pictures of PCB designs that I made. Also asked me what are the types of IC packagings available.

Later to that round HR was conducted post to which I was offered with the CAE role at Microchip Technology.
