Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite l'università. La procedura ha richiesto 2 giorni. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Cadence Design Systems (Poona) nel mese di ott 2024
Colloquio
Round 1: Written Test
--> 7 subjective questions were asked.
Particular Topics:
1) 2 on Verilog(HDL for JK FF with set and reset) and one was based on instantiation of module)
2) 1 on STA
3) 1 on FSM( detect 11001 and 11011 simultaneously with overlap)
4) 1 on CMOS function Implementation with sizing of transistors(using Euler Path)
5) Frequency divider( divide by 3, with 50% duty cycle)
6) HDL was given, and they asked to make a hardware implementation of it
Round 2: Interview
--> It went about 55 minutes.
Domande di colloquio [4]
Domanda 1
Questions starting from CMOS Inverter, its VTC, what will happen if we replace NMOS with a resistor(effect on output swing and VTC), what are unity gain points on VTC(Vil and Vih), and what is their use(basically to define Noise Margins).
Then, the interviewer deep-dived into ASIC Design Flow( he asked many questions on Post RTL phase{synthesis, routing, clock trees, placement, STA, Layout, etc..}.

Colloquio
It was a 30-minute interview that was primarily focused on technical skills. I was also asked to give a 10-minute presentation on a verification-related project.
The interview was engaging and enjoyable. The interviewer's had over 20 years of industry experience and demonstrated deep technical knowledge. The discussion was insightful, and I appreciated the opportunity to interact with someone with such extensive expertise.
Overall, it was a positive experience with a strong focus on technical understanding and practical verification concepts.
