I applied through college or university. I interviewed at AMD (Toronto, ON) in Dec 2016
Interview
Asked technical questions, and some problem solving ones unrelated to course material. I applied via my university, and I only had to do one round. They are looking for people that can problem solve.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A simple coding question, a series of verilog questions, and a problem solving.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AMD (Toronto, ON) in Dec 2016
Interview
The interview process consisted of 2 AMD engineers on the physical design team interviewing me at my school. The interview began with them describing the position and what thier team did at AMD. This was followed by a series of technical questions with regards to logic gates and CMOS logic. There were no generic interview questions, Interview was purly technical. Unfortunately one of the interviewers would tell me I was wrong midway through my explanation which through me off completely, setting the tone for the rest of the interview questions poorly. Other than that the two AMD staff members were very kind.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Draw the NAND implementation of some digital logic.
Draw and explain the CMOS implementation of a NAND gate.
A series of questions with regards to a CMOS inverter (switching, what comes after a CMOS inverter, explain how a CMOS invetering works, etc.)
Basic Linux commands
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AMD in Nov 2012
Interview
Couple of technical rounds , focussed more on your basic of digital vlsi design, they test your analytical ability to solve the problem, followed by HR as usual.
No written test.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic of Digital VLSI, digital apti Questions puzzles
like how you build complex gates using simple nand/muxes
about inverter cross sections, physical design some questions on floorplanning delay calulation
go throguh any DVLSI good book or video lectures.
