      Engineering Interview

      Mar 30, 2010
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Irvine, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Broadcom (Irvine, CA) in Feb 2010

      Interview

      I was contacted by a head hunter, who found my resume at some online portal(don't know where exactly). He sent my resume to the hiring manager, who liked it and scheduled a phone interview. Basic questions from my resume, job experience, PERL questions(data structures mostly), UNIX questions, design management tool experience were asked. It was a IT position, along with CAD, vlsi design experience,with design sync server experience. Then I went in for an onsite, which was scheduled for 1 day, but the panel liked my resume for another CAD position, so they let me stay over for another day for the CAD interview. Panel interview for 2 consecutive days was extremely exhaustive. But overall it went good. I had 6 rounds on DAY 1. Each person asked me 1 common question: about how to set up a CAD project, using design Sync server in a multi-site environment? I assume they have this issue going on, and need someone to work on that. Simulation related - Spectre, Spice, Ultrasim Customer related- how would you approach if someone comes and tells u, that his design is not working, and does not give you any more information? parasitic extraction -> how does the Assura engine work? perl, TCL scripting -> What have you done?
