I had a 30 min screening call with the hiring manager, then went through five 1-hour panel interviews. The panels covered RTL Verilog, Simulation, Debugging, Static Timing Analysis, CDC, and communication protocols like UART, I2C, and SPI.

Technical Behavioral
It was a one-on-one phone interview where they asked a lot of questions about my resume and also about device physics, needing me to explain the principles. The interviewer mentioned that if I passed this round, there would be another one-on-one interview and a panel interview.

I got in through a referral, so definitely reach out to employees. The interview process was pretty chill, just 2 rounds with basic VLSI and SystemVerilog questions. They asked about VLSI basics like CMOS sizing, NAND and NOR circuits, and how to build logical functions with gates. For SystemVerilog, they covered blocking vs. non-blocking operators, language differences between Verilog and SystemVerilog, and talked about my projects.

Microchip Technology Engineer Interview Questions
Quoted word for word from Microchip Technology interview reports.
“For two inverters connected in series, operating in a 3V domain, what would the output be with a 0V input?”
Read reports →“What is transconductance and how is it related to the output voltage?”
Read reports →“In terms of conditional statements, is if(0==a) or if(a==0) preferred?”
Read reports →“What functionality would you get if all NMOS and PMOS transistors were interchanged in the given AND gate (ignoring logic reduction)?”
Read reports →“Imagine a bulb controlled by two switches. If toggling either switch changes the bulb's state regardless of the other switch's position, which logic gate does this represent?”
