Process

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day.

There were two rounds of interview. One was coding, and another was an HDL round. The interview was through virtual mode, and the schedule was very tight. They asked me to write code. I am not sure if these coding rounds make sense at the level of Principal Engineer positions, but that is the way it is done here.
