      Design Verification Engineer Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Livorno
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Apple (Livorno) in Jun 2020

      Interview

      Applied through referral in the middle of lockdown in Europe. Had a first chat with HR, went through my CV and my motivations. After 3 weeks got a phone interview. This was inline whith the position requirements: a lot of SystemVerilog and UVM questions in a row. Not much time to answer but they were all quicj questions. After another 3 weeks I had the 5h30m interview, it was online due to Covid19. 6 interviewers, one after the other. All of them were from different sites than the one I applied for. Each of them looked to be specialized on some particular topic. Had questions on UVM and SystemVerilog, but also questions on algorithms and mixed-signal verification (not among requirements). Interviewers were quite fast, not much time to think on a problem. Didn't look like any of them was happy to be there interviewing me and only one of them showed interest in what I've done or would want to do. The rest of them were just asking questions. I understand they work for Apple but maybe they would need a better approach with applicants.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      45 mins phone interview: task vs function associative arrays packed vs unpacked scoreboard structures `uvm_do sequencer structure coverage: code vs functional functional cov: module and collector number of automatic bins for an int code coverage metrics uvm_object vs uvm_component concurrent vs immediate assertions 5hrs interview: reg model in uvm adapter and predictor scoreboard structure how to use some of the phases exercise on how to verify a DUT that gets data from 2 sensors list of quick questions on systemverilog how to verify req ack interfaces, also which assertions how to verify in a mixed signal enviroment find errors in given code (like missing "virtual" in parent/child sequences, or missing "automatic" in for loop with fork join_none) optimized way to generate Fibonacci's sequence recursive function to generate a given sequence shortest path algorithm: given starting point and destination point in a 2D matrix, get the shortest path from one to the other, including some non valid coordinates what kind of functional coverage I have done, how I've done scoreboards, some other questions about CV experiences
