ASIC Design Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
I had to undergo three rounds of phone interviews.
The first round consisted of three technical questions, namely:
- Static Timing Analysis
- Writing Verilog code
- Writing code for finding a palindrome using recursion
The second interview was based on my resume. The third interview was taken by a GPU Design Engineer, so he didn't ask me any questions on timing analysis, which I was expecting, considering I was interviewing for an ASIC design position.
Questions
Design a circuit that would count 1 every time another counter counts from 0 to 255. One of the counters is working at a higher frequency than the other.
