Question 1
Everything they asked was expected. Although, one of the interviewers was direct, which caught me off guard. He asked, "Tell me something about yourself, that will make me hire you." Eventually, he turned out to be my supervisor.
This was followed by an online technical assessment testing core engineering fundamentals. After passing the assessment, I had [1-2] technical interview rounds with senior engineers. These rounds were deep dives into transistor-level behaviors, layout optimization, and firmware troubleshooting. The interviewers really wanted to see my problem-solving approach rather than just hearing the correct final answer. The final stage was a behavioral panel with cross-functional managers, utilizing the STAR method to gauge how I handle tight lab deadlines, high-pressure environments, and team collaboration.
Basic questions on semiconductors, and thorough review of resume. They will go through all the experiences and the projects listed in the resume and ask questions from it. Some managerial questions as well on how would handle team work, time and pressure.
