The interview had two parts. First, there was a technical test with multiple-choice questions on MOSFETs, digital logic, complex numbers, and K-maps. It also included an IQ question and a 3D projection question that required an eraser. Second, there was a direct interview focusing on the VLSI design process.
Confirmed questions4 questions
- Given a schematic of CMOS NAND gates, identify its logical function.
- For a finite state machine, explain its states and predict the next state given an input.
- Identify the operating region (linear, pinch-off, saturation) of a MOSFET.

The interview process was marred by numerous postponements. They repeatedly requested suitable times, only to ghost me multiple times. I recall them asking over three times, and each time I confirmed a proposed time was suitable, they would disappear. Eventually, we did connect, but the experience was quite frustrating.
