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.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Online Test(around 130 students):General Aptitude,C-Aptitude,Technical Section(ECE).

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Technical Interview 1 (18 students): In this interview I was asked about basic analog electronics,fliters based on OpAmps and frequency response of RLC circuits.I was also asked to explain about my intern projects in this round.
3.Technical Interview 2 (8 students): This round covered basics of Digital System Design and realizing boolean expressions using MOSFET'S (basic VLSI)

Round: HR Interview
Experience: This round was just a formality to ensure that I am truly interested in the company.

General Tips: "1.Always explain each step while giving your answer. Your approach is more important than the final answer itself.
2. Know your basics in electronics well. This will help you to solve any question.
3. Be confident throughout the interview.
4. Highlight any important project in your resume especially those related to electronics."
Focus on reviewing your basics in Digital System Design, Circuit Theory and Linear Integrated Circuits. Also spend some time on studying the basics of VLSI.
Go through concepts of trees, linked lists, sorting and complexity of algorithms which will help in the online test.
Skill Tips: 1.For general aptitude the book 'Quantitative Aptitude by RS Aggarwal' should be helpful.
2.For C-Aptitude 'Let us C' by Yashwanth P Kanetkar helped me to revise the basics of C programming and the book 'Data Structures in C' by AM Padma Reddy helped for understanding the basics of linked lists and trees.
3. For the technical questions going through any basic analog and digital electronics book will suffice.

Interview Questionnaire 

5 Questions

  • Q1. How is overlap-add implemented?
  • Ans. 

    Overlap-add is implemented by dividing the input signal into overlapping segments, applying a window function, and adding the segments together.

    • Overlap-add is a method used in digital signal processing to efficiently convolve long signals with finite impulse response (FIR) filters.

    • The input signal is divided into overlapping segments, typically with a length equal to the filter length.

    • A window function, such as the Ham...

  • Q2. Obtain the Nyquist criterion.
  • Ans. 

    The Nyquist criterion states that in order to accurately sample a signal, the sampling rate must be at least twice the highest frequency component of the signal.

    • The Nyquist criterion is used in digital signal processing to prevent aliasing.

    • It ensures that the sampling rate is sufficient to capture all the information in the signal.

    • The criterion is based on the concept of the Nyquist frequency, which is half the samplin...

  • Answered by AI
  • Q3. How do you demodulate a QAM signal?
  • Ans. 

    Demodulating a QAM signal involves separating the amplitude and phase components to recover the original data.

    • QAM signals combine amplitude and phase modulation

    • Demodulation involves separating the amplitude and phase components

    • Techniques like coherent demodulation and quadrature demodulation are used

    • Coherent demodulation uses a local oscillator to recover the phase component

    • Quadrature demodulation separates the in-phas

  • Answered by AI
  • Q4. How do you implement interpolation in discrete-time domain?
  • Ans. 

    Interpolation in discrete-time domain involves estimating values between known data points.

    • Interpolation is used to fill in missing data or estimate values between known data points.

    • Common interpolation methods include linear interpolation, polynomial interpolation, and spline interpolation.

    • Linear interpolation calculates values by drawing a straight line between two adjacent data points.

    • Polynomial interpolation uses a...

  • Q5. If you were given an intern in Hyderabad, would you take it?
  • Ans. 

    Yes, I would take the intern in Hyderabad to mentor and guide them in their learning journey.

    • Taking an intern can provide an opportunity to mentor and guide a budding engineer.

    • It can also help in delegating tasks and projects, allowing for more productivity.

    • Having an intern can bring fresh perspectives and ideas to the team.

    • Interns can also assist in research and development projects, aiding in innovation.
