Principal Hardware Engineer Interview Experience - Santa Clara, California
Process
I had interviews with four groups in one day and travelled to both the HQ and Santa Clara campus. All the managers were kind and encouraging. They talked most about the projects I had done from my resume. I had a three-night stay in SF. After I got back, I heard from HR after a week and received an oral offer. One week later, I got the official offer from Oracle.
Questions
Had a couple of brain twisters and VLSI-related questions, such as dynamic circuits and my project.
