1,071 senior design engineer interview questions shared by candidates

Technical: - Short introduction - Brief description about previous work experiences in detail -differences between synthesis in FPGA and synthesis in ASIC -difference between ASIC and FPGA - What do you do when you run into setup and hold time violations…. (metastable… how to solve them… what does clock synchronizers do) - DFT checks - What were the main challenges faced while doing the design, and what is my takeway? - Describe different flows in the design process - What weer the tasks done in design verification? - How do you know when the design verification has been completed HR: If things are delayed, how would justify that to the manager? How would handle conflicts within the team members? How will you convince someone who is not listening to your proposed solution? What are the expectations from your manager and from the company? What are the adjectives you can use to describe yourself? What is the thing you changed in the last company and contributed to the most? Why are you planning to switch jobs? What is the biggest project you have worked on? And you are proud of? Why do you want to work for us? What made you think that you’re fit in this role?

If you have a DC power supply in series with a 1k resistor and a 6k resistor, give the equation that described the voltage across the 6k resistor. Switch the 6k resistor for an inductor, what is the voltage across the inductor? Switch the inductor for a capacitor, what is the voltage across the 1k resistor? Change de the 1k resistor for a cap identical to the other one, what is the voltage drop across each cap? Change one of the caps to make it double the capacity of the other one, what is the voltage drop across each cap?
