ASIC Design Engineer Interview Experience - Austin, Texas
Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took a week. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Austin, TX) in July 2013.
Interview
I was contacted by the HR department of Silicon Labs to see if I was interested in a couple of positions they were hiring for. They were particularly interested in my qualifications from my previous jobs.
I was then contacted by the hiring manager, who set up a phone interview with one of his team members.
I was then flown to Austin for a day-long interview. There were a total of 7 interviews back to back until about 4 pm. They were all technical in nature; they tested my design knowledge, my scripting and programming capabilities, and my familiarity with CAD tools.

- 3.0Cool stuff is happening, and mostly everyone knows itASIC Design Engineer • Current EmployeeSanta Clara, California, United StatesDecember 14, 2011Pros: There is a lot of cool stuff happening as this company reinvents itself from just pushing pixels to pushing data around everywhere. NVIDIA is very open internally, so it's very easy to see the level of excitement flowing around. It's nice to generally know about what's happening around you, too.Cons: NVIDIA is organized to pinch pennies, be it in the compute infrastructure or in employee compensation. Everybody works very hard, but compensation is subpar for the industry. Benefits (401k matching?) similarly lack.
