We started with a self-introduction, then the hiring manager asked me about my past projects. There was also a simple coding part involving RTL, like creating a pulse, and questions about clock gating, FIFO, and CDC. They also inquired about my experience with Synopsys tools such as lint, CDC, and coverage.

The interview process was really smooth. They asked questions about core concepts like CMOS, digital logic, and the general VLSI flow. Also, they went into more specific topics like timing, IC reliability, IR-drop analysis, and power integrity. You should be ready to show you understand these main areas.

So first they look at your resume to see if you're a good fit. If you are, they'll give you a call or a video interview to talk about your background and why you want to work there. Sometimes they'll give you a test to make sure you know what you're doing. You should also get ready by learning about the company, what the job is, and practice answering questions. Then you'll have the actual interview, which might be at their office or online. They'll ask you questions about how you've handled situations in the past.
