      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems (San Jose, CA) in Mar 2018

      Interview

      I had approached the HR representative over email who forwarded my resume to the manager. The manager then approached me over email. There were 3 technical interviews on call in the space of 2 weeks. In the end, there was an HR call. after which I was offered the position. All the technical rounds were conducted by very experienced and senior team members. The interview experience was very very good. All interviewers were helpful and polite. They even helped me answer 1-2 questions where I was stuck. They focused on the basics of Digital circuits, FINFETs and the overall Physical Design flow. Overall it was a great experience.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      -> Questions on my projects listed on my resume. -> Questions on device parameters like short channel effects, temperature inversion, DIBL, Body Effect etc. -> Basic questions on PD Flow like files required for synthesis, P&R. -> Questions on scan testing. Stuck at faults. -> Few tricky questions on circuit implementation using Flipflops. CPPR, SI (especially crosstalk)
