I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Hillsboro, OR) in Apr 2018
Interview
Was contacted in November to try and get a position from a previous conference, which included me applying for positions, but was not selected for an interview at the conference. Fast forward to march, and was contacted because they found my resume in the data base from my previous submission. Had to submit my resume again, and wait to see if I was selected by the hiring managers to attend the hiring event. Three weeks later I found out I was selected, and had to leave in 4 days. At the Hiring event, I was interviewed by 5 hiring managers, for one hour each, hiring directly for people to work for them. There was a mixture of technical Questions, behavioral questions, and brain teasers. I am electrical engineering, so I was asked questions about SoC architecture, how microprocessors work, semiconductor physics, about past experiences, and the brain teasers included questions to see how you approached tricky questions. At the end of event, the people were given formal letters by the managers if they were selected. I am sure that after people selected their first choice, the other rejected offers would trickle down and go to other qualified candidates in the following week... but that would be the assumption.
Interview questions [5]
Question 1
Draw a CMOS Transistor and how it works, what is an NMOS and PMOS?
Tricky Questions: You have five 3's, how would you make 31 using basic arithmetic?
How would you make a swap function using C++ without using a third variable?
You have a cake, how would you make 8 slices by using only three cuts? Questions like this, and there were a lot like this so have an open mind.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Folsom, CA) in Feb 2017
Interview
Interview was about 30 minutes and the interviewer asked mostly about basic electrical engineering. I was up for ASIC design role, so the interviewer asked about RTL implementation and logic design.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
how to reduce the frequency by half using an electric component.
design logic gates using a multiplexer.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2017
Interview
The first interview lasts one hour in total. 30 min for software, 30 min for hardware no matter you are looking for software job or hardware job. Software is C or C++; Hardware is verilog at most time.
