CAD Engineer Interview Experience - Santa Clara, California

March 23, 2026
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied through other source. The process took 1 week.

One hour interview asking misc questions about ASIC spice correlation and other. The interviewer was not experienced enough to evaluate my answers. She was expecting "her" single answer and would not be open to my own experience. I did not try to argue but was a little surprised to be interviewed by a person knowing less than me from NVIDIA.

Questions

Like, how to estimate very accurately silicon performances of a PVT if you don't have silicon of that specific PVT. I asked if I was allowed to run SPICE simulation, she said "no", and later told me the right way is to simulate a Ring Oscillator!
