Design Verification Engineer Interview Questions

952 design verification engineer interview questions shared by candidates

pipeline processor architecture, hazard, shared memory problem, cache issues—remote repeated words both in SystemVerilog. I answered how to do it in python, but he insisted Con using c or SystemVerilog. In the last question, he asked me why I choose design verification. The whole procedure lasts about 53 minutes, quite tense I would say. I did not answer the memory coherence and delete repeat words in C. I would say I did not do it well. Hoping this could help others to get job. Just preparing questions.

It gets very technical ranging from Electrical fundamentals to RF fundamentals and then they start to dig deep on each aspect. Know your chip caps really well! I was asked questions on smith charts, imedance matching, typical RF receiver/transmitter systems, signal integrity issues, characteristics of RF amps. As far as behavioral questions were concerned - challenges faced in your last project, how did u solve it and what would your ex boss say about you if I asked him for a reference.
