Interview Preparation Tips
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.

Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: Each section had 20 multiple choice questions and each section was allotted 30 minutes. The aptitude section was fairly difficult due to time constraints. The other two sections had several questions with unfamiliar concepts; however the other questions were easy.
Tips: Practice aptitude questions to increase speed in problem-solving.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Total Questions: 60
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The first round was fairly short. The interviewer asked only three questions and I was able to answer all except for the overlap-add question. However I had the intuition to get to part of the answer.
Tips: Just brush up concepts in analog communications and DSP.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The second round was longer. The interviewer asked questions mostly in DSP and analog communications. I was able to answer all but one, which involved interpolation in discrete-time domain. The interviewer gave hints on how to get to the solution of the bit-rate and the interpolation question but I was able to answer only the former. The interviewer also asked if I did a course on Linear Algebra, and I affirmed it but I had no memory of it.
Tips: Just like in the first round, but expect more difficult questions.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: The HR interview was very short and the interviewer did not ask any of the typical HR questions except for if I were offered an internship in Communications, I would take it.
Tips: If you make it this far, you'll most likely make it. There is no need to prepare anything in advance.
