I applied online. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Apr 2014
Interview
For GPU team
Contacted by HR followed by two phone screens
first: manager
general questions from resume, experience, various verification environments, functional coverage, SV constraint solver
2nd: team member
uvm questions: TLM? Phases -> build is top down?
coverage ?
GPU pipe overview
How scoreboard implemented
UVM monitors
UVM TLM fifo's implementation
SV knowledge?
I did very good in both the interviews, but management chose to hire an internal candidate who has better experience
It was straight forward for NCG role as i am a new grad so HR was really helpful and overall it is a great experience i just attended one round and got rejected
the interview flow is mainly technological, and is consisted by the following steps:
1. HR call
2. manager call
3. 3-hour interview (led by engineers)
4. 3-hour interview (led by staff)
5. contract
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Apple (Jerusalem, Jerusalem) in Feb 2026
Interview
Had a phone call with a recruiter, and then a short phone call with one of the verification team leads—for a student position.
overall good experience, nice people and had constant contact before and after the interview/
