Technical Behavioral
The interview was online and really dug into basic digital electronics stuff. They asked about counters and shift registers, wanting me to explain how they work and what they're used for. I also had to talk about my past projects, like what problems I ran into and how I solved them. Then they asked more questions based on what I said, digging into the technical side and asking for more detail on my project design decisions.

Technical Coding
It was a face-to-face interview. After introductions, they asked about unsolved questions from the written paper. Then, they went through the complete RTL to GDS flow. Finally, I was asked to write Verilog code for an asynchronous counter.
Confirmed questions6 questions
- Can you discuss coverage analysis?
- What about STA?
- And DFT?
