Interviewed Mar 2011 in Santa Clara, CA (took a day)
The process is an extremely typical one. It starts off with a phone screen and then proceeds with an on-site interview. This position had seven other candidates interview on-site. Started off with a brief introduction from the hiring manager. Then, there was a rotation of three different one-on-one interviews. Depending on the interviewer, the technical questions ranged from easy to slightly difficult - all basic analog questions. Some examples include: op-amp gain, simple circuit analysis, capacitor circuits, constructing filters, etc. Interviewers asked about previous work experiences and projects. Not the most difficult interview; however, the group only hired one (the candidate who had a MSEE).

There was only 1 interview needed. The manager will ask simple question about your personality to find which job are suitable for you. As for product engineer in semiconductor, you should have the analytical skill of the graph reading. You should also know things like amplifier and its characteristics. After the interview, the manager straight away offer the the job as product engineer if you like to do data collection and analysis.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Santa Clara, CA (took a day)
I applied for an on campus interview from my university. When I arrived there were about 3-4 rooms with two employees from NSM in each interviewing candidates. The interview I had was with two employees that had attended the same university. Interview consisted of basic questions; know about the company, why you want to work for them specifically, and voice what skills you've developed from past job/intern experiences.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Santa Clara, CA (took 2 weeks)
I had a phone interview and the interview consisted of all questions based on my projects on resume.
After a week, i was called in for onsite where i had been interviewed by 4 and this was like a half day interview process. All the questions revolved around my resume and projects and some questions on clock domain crossing.
After that i was escalated for a different team for full-time which had another round of interview this time more on verilog. I guess this where i messed up with low confidence. Make sure you know stuff about X's and Z's that is where i lost the battle.

Interviewed Jun 2009 (took 2+ weeks)
There were multiple rounds. Started off with Contract Recruiting consultant followed by company HR. This was followed by a telephonic interview by the Hiring Manager. For the onsite interview, I was asked to make a presentation, which was followed by 7 individual interviews. The focus of the interview was my communication skills, analytical skills and knowledge of the subject. The people were very nice and friendly. My advice to other interviewers would be that be prepared for in depth analytical questions as well.
