I had a phone interview where they asked me about my projects. Then, I got an email to come in for an on-campus interview, which went pretty well. They asked me about CMOS, Op Amps, active/non-active low pass filters, and some hardware coding logic. After that, I got an email for an interview at their site in San Jose. When I got there, I met with 5 different interviewers. The first two were pretty easy and asked about my interests and projects. The next two asked about SPI and D flip flops, and also about non-inverting op-amps. The last interviewer showed me a schematic, went through each component, and asked me to explain what was happening.

Confirmed questions3 questions
  • Can you discuss your experience with SPI and C coding?
  • Describe how to set up a low pass filter and then make it active.
  • How would you set up a non-inverting unity gain filter?

Technical

I went to a career fair at my school and was put on a list for an interview the next day. When I got there, the interviewer was not very friendly and didn't even ask me how my day was. We sat down and he talked about my resume and asked me questions about my projects. It was a completely technical interview, so you'll be in trouble if you aren't ready to answer a lot of questions about basic circuit analysis.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Could you draw the schematic for a project on your resume?
  • What kind of filter is this?

I met with some people at a campus career fair and had a technical interview that lasted about 30-45 minutes. It covered basic EE stuff. It took them about a month to get back to me about an on-site interview. The on-site felt pretty intense back then, but looking back it wasn't that big of a deal. I met with a few different team members and each of them interviewed me for about 50 minutes on different topics like C code, analog circuits, and digital circuits.

  • Can you explain what set up and hold times are and why they matter?
  • What are set up and hold times, and why are they important?
