I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Santa Clara, CA) in Nov 2023
Interview
Short 30 minute technical interview. Was asked 5 questions total regarding timing analysis, digital logic design, transistor sizing and parasitics. Barely any time left at the end of the interview for me to ask questions to interviewer, although I was able to ask him questions later through LinkedIn. Follow-up behavioral interview scheduled.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1

1) RISC - V processor, Pipe lining stages, cache replacement, write back write through , LRU LFU SRRIP
2) questions on setup and hold time
3) Physical design flow, softwares, files used in PD,
4) Dynamic and static power
