I applied through other source. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Santa Clara, CA) in Feb 2026
Interview
One hour interview asking misc questions about ASIC spice correlation and other.
The interviewer was not experienced enough to evaluate my answers.
She was expecting "her" single answer and would not be open to my own experience.
I did not try to argue but was a little surprise to be interviewed by a person knowing less than me from NVIDIA.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Like, how to estimate very accurately silicon performances of a PVT if you don't have silicon of that specific PVT. I ask if I was allowed to run spice simulation, she said "no", and later told me the right way is to simulate Ring Oscillator !!!!
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at NVIDIA (San Diego, CA) in Dec 2025
Interview
I was able to secure this interview with NVIDIA after the screening stage, primarily because of my hackathon experience. I’ve noticed that many roles expect a solid understanding of hardware and GPUs, while full-stack roles require exceptionally strong skills to get shortlisted.
