Although it seemed that they had a very busy schedule, they still took the time to listen carefully and attentively to everything I shared during the interview. I truly appreciated their patience and the genuine interest they showed in my responses.

Question 1
They asked me to introduce the content of my work. While I was presenting my projects, they also asked me detailed questions about them. For example, they asked what the biggest challenge was when I worked on a particular project, which software I used to create a specific drawing, and what software skills I have.
The interview process was quite comprehensive and covered a wide range of technical topics. Many of the questions focused on embedded systems, circuit design, and VLSI concepts. There were also some problem-solving scenarios to test analytical thinking.
