I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Arm (Cambridge, East of England, England) in Oct 2019
Interview
A bit less than 1 hour phone interview with two engineers. Overall, they are very friendly.
First they explain a bit the position, then they let you talk about yourself. They ask you questions about your CV and then some technical questions.
Basically, you keep talking either about your CV or by answering their questions, and they keep asking more questions about what you say or new topics they bring up.
They give you time at the end for questions.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Arm (Bengaluru) in Apr 2019
Interview
written test followed by interviews which consists of 2 rounds of face to face interview. and then selected candidates is given offer. entire procedure took within same day. around 120 candidates came and around 30 candidates shortlisted for interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
most of the questions were asked from projects and programming. sample and hold, timing, puzzles and digital electronics, verilog, d flipflop,latch etc
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Arm (Austin, TX) in Oct 2019
Interview
Interview process was smooth and quick. Recruiter promptly scheduled interview and interview did not seem like interrogation. I wasn't selected for the position which I got to know via email within a week.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Explain SRAM working and Noise margins of it.
2. How does PVT variation affect SRAM access times and NM.
3.Concept of Setup time and Hold time. How to fix it in Si validation.
4.Leakage current of MOSFET. How does it scale with Length, Vth and Temperature. Techniques to reduce leakage current of MOSFET (Multi Vt, DVFS, Body biasing, Header/Footer switch, Clock gating)
5. Where to use Header and Footer switch? Does FinFet has body biasing phenomenon to reduce leakage like conventional FETs.
6.Any experience with EM simulation, memory compiler design and Digital verification/STA.
