Process

Skipped the telephonic interview as I had a reference within the company.

Interviewed with the San Diego team. I had interviews lined up all day, from 10:30 am until 5 pm, with a friendly lunch in the middle.

It was completely technical. We spoke on different protocols, low-power techniques, C programming for embedded systems, and building a verification environment. Overall, all interviewers asked pointed, relevant, and good questions, without the slightest hint of condescension. This was among the longest interviews I've had in my career and also among the most professional.

Questions

Spoke about some post-silicon validation.

Haven't had much experience working in the lab, so it didn't matter.
