Interview
Submitted my resume at a career fair at my school. Got an on campus interview then a month later I got a phone interview. The phone interview was 1.5 hours long and I had to give a 10 minute presentation on a technical topic of my choice. The interview was given by a analog circuit designer. Whole process took about two months from when I first submitted my resume.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked to draw a circuit then explain how it worked and what everything did. I ended up going over op amp circuits (inverter and difference op amp), explaining how a transistor works, and drawing and explaining a cmos inverter. I was also asked the question, what is your biggest/greatest achievement? There were some other behavior questions as well that seem pretty standard at most interviews such as describing a situation where you've worked on a team and talking about something going wrong in a team environment.
