I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Mar 2018
Interview
Phone interview. The interview was pretty rude and not interested in learning much of anything regarding my background, interests, or unique professional experiences. They're more focused on technically grilling candidates with random but usual EE questions.
Asked about trace impedance control in a PCB fab. What tolerance do I design for on impedance controlled traces and what would I do if the fab house couldn't meet the specified tolerance.
I was invited to have an interview with two engineers for the Google Watch team, had 2 rounds in one day, 30 min apart. Each took 60 min to complete. Didn't tell me the result for 2 months and no feedbacks were provided.
I applied through university. I interviewed at Google (Kānpur, Uttar Pradesh) in July 2025
Interview
2 technical rounds after an OA. Tested digital design fundamentals and focused also on my past projects. They really emphasize on basics. They ask for a preferred programming language beforehand (I chose Verilog) and then they would ask you to code up some circuit in verilog in a google doc.

Question 1
Difference between FPGA and ASIC development cycles?
II was shortlisted for the position based on my resume, which aligned well with the role requirements. Following that, I successfully cleared two rounds of interviews that evaluated my technical and communication skills.
