Role: Hardware Intern (Verification focused)

College: Not Specified

Interview Date: December 2024 (HireView followed by Zoom)

Interview Type: Internship

Result: Pending (User was invited to the second round)

Difficulty: Not Specified

Rounds: At least 2 rounds (HireView Screening, Zoom Interview)

Topics Asked: Technical (Coding & thinking), Behavioral, Conceptual (Hardware and Software questions), Code snippets + terminal output analysis, C++, System Verilog, Computer Architecture, Digital Circuit, Verification (approach to testing/verifying the DUT).

Experience:

The candidate completed a HireView screening interview for a Hardware Intern role, which included technical (coding & thinking) and behavioral questions.

HireView Screening: This was an automated screening consisting of technical and behavioral questions.

Zoom Interview (Second Round): This was described by a previous intern for a systems architecture role as a 3-on-1 call with one senior engineer and two junior engineers. Questions were mostly conceptual, with a mix of hardware and software. No live coding was required, but they showed snippets of code + terminal output and asked questions about it. Another user, for a similar hardware intern role, mentioned their interview involved coding (both in C++ and System Verilog), computer architecture, digital circuit questions, and verification concepts like "how would you approach testing/verifying the DUT".
