I had a phone interview with the hiring manager and 3 engineers. Then, I went on-site for an interview with those same 3 engineers and 6 managers. The hiring process took about 4 months from the interviews to the job offer.

Technical Behavioral
I first chatted with the Team manager who asked me some basic questions about how Analog Blocks work, like ADCs, DACs, and LDOs. Then, I went for a face-to-face interview where they asked me about the fundamentals of MOS operation. The interviewer even drew some circuits, like a Level-Shifter, and I had to figure out what might be causing leakage or preventing it from working correctly.
Confirmed questions5 questions
- What are the protocols for low power design?
- Can you identify and correct the issues in the circuit that was drawn?
- Explain the functionality of Analog Blocks such as ADC, DAC, and LDO.
