I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Altera
Interview
First was a phone interview where some fairly basic questions were asked, mostly on video processing (what the job was focused on) in hardware. Issues that might be encountered such as bandwidth, optimization of look-up tables for functions (such as sine), etc. Second was a number of face-to-face interviews, covering my motivation and, more importantly, my RTL skills.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Lots of issues dealing with RTL design of FSMs, BRAM, and the like. Also issues on interacting with DRAM.
