I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Jan 2025
Interview
3 round interview. 1st one involved behavioral questions and remaining two asked EE fundamental questions ranging from circuit analysis, digital design, and battery application. Interviewers helped guide me through some of the questions
4 rounds of leetcode easy questions, some VLSI questions, and questions on the Virtuoso platform. Some of the questions were curated by the interviewer (no leetcode could prep you, but if you knew how to code straightforward enough)
1. Asked about my educational background and projects.
2. A couple HDL programming problems such as state machine, d_latch, and basic computer architecture questions.
3. Embedded system basics like I2C, SPI.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Apple
Interview
The recruiter contacted me and then I had a meeting with the head of the team. He asked general questions in my field. Next round I had three more technical interviews. They were challenging and the goal was figuring out how deep I know the field.
