Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Samsung R&D Institute India - Bangalore.
Senior Hardware Engineer
The interview process included an online test on Cocubes covering Aptitude, C programming, Digital Electronics, and a couple of Analog Electronics questions. This was followed by two technical interviews, the first focusing on Verilog coding and the second on Digital Design. Lastly, there was an HR interview.
- Questions about Verilog coding.
- Questions related to Digital Design.
Hardware Engineer
So after getting into IITs, the hiring process started in Oct 2020. First, there was an online test with 48 MCQs for the hardware role, and we had 67 minutes to complete it. It mostly covered Digital Circuit design topics like Latch, FF, ROM, Kmap, Boolean algebra, number systems, FIFO, and STA, with a few questions on Computer Architecture/Microprocessor (like caches) and basic Analog circuits (like RC networks). I think the GPA cutoff was around 7, and they were open to CS/EC/EE students. After that, there was a Technical Interview, and then an HR round.
- Can you tell me about the work Samsung does in Digital and Verification?
- Please walk me through all your projects and courses.
- Tell me about your internship experience with FPGA/Verilog.
Hardware Engineer
There were two rounds of interviews with eliminations after each. If you pass those, there's an HR round. It's mainly about how well you know the subject. I made it to the second round, but there was no HR round for us. I answered all the questions and felt confident about getting a call, but they only selected one out of the three of us.
- All VLSI Basics
- Digital electronics
- Verilog
