I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AMD (Toronto, ON)
Interview
2 hour long interview for the Video Codec Team at AMD Markham. The manager will bring in a design and verification lead from his/her team to ask you questions. You will answer using a whiteboard and a marker.
Interview questions [12]
Question 1
Design an XOR logic circuit using only "AND" and "NOT" gates. (Hint : Just remember Demorgan's law to convert an "OR" gate to and "AND")
Draw a FSM (Either Moore/Mealy) to detect the pattern 10110. It should output 1 if it detects the pattern. (Make sure it also handles the case "10110110")
How will you verify the functionality of your Verilog code? How would the test best setup look like in UVM? Talk about UVM Sequencers, Drivers, Monitors and Scoreboards.
Interviewers are very friendly, basic coding in Verilog and Python, questions on digital design concepts. Interviewers are interested in the details of past projects, in particular scripting, testing and debugging.
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AMD (Sydney)
Interview
The interview process involved an initial screening interview which was technical and after clearing it a follow up by a main technical interview was held which delved deep into core topics.
