I applied via LinkedIn and was interviewed in Jan 2024. There were 3 interview rounds.

Round 1 - One-on-one 

(2 Questions)

  • Q1. Day to Day work at the current comany
  • Q2. How to write a simple program to find if two bbox's intersect?
  • Ans. 

    Use the coordinates of the two bounding boxes to determine if they intersect.

    • Get the coordinates of the two bounding boxes (x1, y1, x2, y2)

    • Check if the boxes intersect by comparing the coordinates

    • If x2 of box 1 is less than x1 of box 2, or y2 of box 1 is less than y1 of box 2, they do not intersect

  • Q1. What is EM and how we mitigate it
  • Ans. 

    EM stands for electromagnetic interference, and it can be mitigated through shielding, grounding, filtering, and proper layout design.

    • Shielding: Using materials like conductive foils or metal enclosures to block EM waves.

    • Grounding: Connecting electronic components to a common ground to reduce interference.

    • Filtering: Using capacitors and inductors to filter out unwanted frequencies.

    • Proper layout design: Keeping sensitiv...

(1 Question)

  • Q1. Which is the best sorting algorithm
  • Ans. 

    There is no one-size-fits-all answer as the best sorting algorithm depends on the specific use case and constraints.

    • The best sorting algorithm depends on factors such as the size of the data set, the range of values, whether the data is mostly already sorted or not, and the available memory.

    • For small data sets or nearly sorted data, insertion sort or bubble sort may be efficient.

    • For large data sets, quicksort, mergesor...

Round 1 - Coding Test 

(1 Question)

Round duration - 90 Minutes
Round difficulty - Medium

The timing was from 4:30 pm to 6 pm, so it was quite convenient. The platform was good, the only problem I had was while attempting diagram based questions, as the interface was difficult to understand. The test had three types of questions- MCQ, subjective and diagram based. The major topics from which the question were asked were- sequential circuits(sequence detector), static timing analysis, digital design and computer architecture.
