4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: Multiple choice questions divided into three sections:
a) General aptitude
b) C programming
c) Electronics
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Technical interview 1 : My first round interview was at the digital panel (there was another panel for analog). The questions were mainly focused on basic digital electronics and VHDL coding. Also some puzzles which required simple logical thinking.
3. Technical interview 2 : The second round had questions from basics of VLSI design, setup and hold time, etc.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: The HR interview was more of a formality and included the usual questions.
General Tips: The overall experience was challenging as well as rewarding. All the interviewers were very nice and polite and made me comfortable. Make sure to mention the topics of your interest at the beginning of the interview. Be prepared to explain the projects mentioned in your resume. If you are not sure of the answer to a question, explain to the interviewer your approach to the question as he may guide you to the correct answer. They gave more importance to problem solving approach than accurate answers.
Job profile offered – Hardware Engineer Given an opportunity to ask something to the company people, feel free to ask for more details of the profile offered and the kind of work that the profile demands.
Skill Tips: Most of the questions test your knowledge of the fundamentals of the subjects. Once your basics are strong you can easily crack the interview.
The earlier you start your preparations, you have better chances of getting through. Find some time to prepare during the summer vacation as it can earn you a great advantage. Don’t get nervous during the interview and always have a pleasant smile.

2 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: The first round was a written test which had four sections: 1. ASIC/Memory Design; 2. System; 3. Firmware; 4. General Aptitude
Tips: The ASIC/Memory Design had questions related to basic Analog and Digital Electronics. Make sure you work on the Setup and Hold Time questions. Other topics included Counters and construction of basic gates using MOSFETs. So, revise everything studied in VLSI, DSD, AE and DECA courses for this section. The Systems sections includes questions primarily from the Embedded Systems course that I took in my 5th Semister. There were a few questions from the ROS concepts that we studied. There was a Watch Dog Timer question. The Firmware section had basic Computer related questions. Write an algorithm.. and Output questions.
General Tips: Again. In case you haven't practiced Setup and Hold time questions, do them! Go through counters and state machines. Revise VLSI concepts and learn how to make basic gates using MOSFETs and also how to make latches and FFs out of basic gates.
It was a Rewarding experience. The good thing about SanDisk was that they had a very structured and organised recruitment process and so everything went smoothly and on time.
From my experience you don't need to stress out in case you haven't done a lot of projects before. Just make your basics are strong and you sound confident.
During my interview, when he asked me this very question, I simply asked him what the next round would be. But the interviewee simply ignored my question and began telling me about what responsibilities the job-profile would entail. So, perhaps the right question to ask would have been to ask him what the Job Profile would be like.
Skill Tips: I prepared for a good week using this GATE book that I purchased from Book Palace. Revise all the concepts that you feel are week. I cannot reiterate how important Setup and Hold time questions are! Many people don't get these answers right, so getting this one question right might just help you clear the aptitude test.

4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: screening test
Experience: ARM conducts a fairly simple test for screening, based on basic analog and digital electronics. Paper also contains a few tough aptitude questions. This is followed by a technical and a HR interview.
Tips: I did brush up my basics which came in very handy. Probably your class notes are enough to remind you of the basics. I did not prepare well for aptitude, which I suggest you as a must do. I spent most time preparing for interview - ARM processor architecture( Hennessey Patterson, 4th ARM edition- highly recommended), digital design and embedded systems. Some more preparation regarding common questions asked in interviews can come in handy.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: My interview ended up to be a discussion about my area of interest. We talked about GPUs and their suitability in mobile market where I got to talk about what I like and know of. I just have one suggestion, make sure the interviewer does not go out of your area of interest and comfort zone! Also, prepare a few really good answerable questions in the field for interviewer which are really important to get a good last impression.
General Tips: If you really like computer architecture, CPU/GPU or other processing system designs then you would like this company. Make sure you are up-to date with current trends in the industry, new processor releases etc which can showcase your interest during the interview.
Prepare on what to speak when you are asked "What do you like and Why?", as a confident answer to this question can leave the interviewer impressed.
Questions must not be like- what will be my pay or will you offer to-fro airfare etc! Questions such as what will I get to work on or about promotion policy of the company will make them think you are really interested and you are there for work.
Skill Tips: I received a PPO from ARM after my internship. Based on your manager's opinion, you will be invited for an interview for PPO during the last week of your internship. My interview was with two senior managers from Architecture and Technology team. Interview difficulty level was very high, as they exhaustively asked on various aspects of modern computer architecture and design. The work done was critically reviewed and several questions about the work methodology were asked. I think the most helpful part was, I made sure I understood the key ideas behind the work I was assigned and explored more about them in free time.
