Technical Coding

It was technical questions including solving circuits. I was then given time to work out the problems and then communicate my thought process. Overall the problems were basic electrical engineering circuits but they wanted someone who has practiced a little.

Confirmed questions3 questions
  • What did you do over the summer?
  • Can you describe your experience with solving electrical circuits?
  • How do you approach problem-solving for circuit-based challenges?

Behavioral Technical

I applied online and after a month, HR reached out via email to schedule the interview. The first interview was with an Indian interviewer who asked about my current job and education. Then, I had a long interview (about 1.40 hours) with a US interviewer, where we delved deep into my experience and projects from my courses.

Confirmed questions5 questions
  • Tell me about your current job profile and educational qualification.
  • Can you share details about your experience and the projects you completed during your courses?
  • What do you know about the MOS device side?

Technical Behavioral

The interview process included two initial 30-minute technical rounds. Following that, there was a virtual onsite stage with four separate interviews. I felt I answered most questions well, but ultimately didn't receive an offer. Later, I heard from other students that they bring in a lot of candidates for the onsite to create competition for a single role, and they might have already made their decision before the interviews even happened. It seems that even when interviewers say things like 'I'll be in touch' or 'I like your preparation,' it doesn't necessarily mean anything. However, it was still good practice for my future interviews.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Can you describe your knowledge in power electronics?
  • Could you please discuss your project?
