Question 1
The interviewer asked me to implement a graph in C++.
The process included an initial recruiter screening followed by a longer virtual technical interview with the hiring team. The interview covered my background, project experience, C++/algorithms/data structures, scripting experience, and some FPGA/EDA-related concepts such as timing analysis and debugging. Overall, the process was professional and focused on both software fundamentals and domain knowledge.
