I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Austin, TX)
Interview
Full day technical interview with each of the 4-5 team members. Purely technical. mainly hardware design and few software related questions. i had many interviews before with basic CPU knowledge Qs. DMA, cache, virtual memory, sram vs dram,two bit counter design from scratch, frequency deviders, jtag, dfx, and writing a verilog code for a disc to tell which direction it is spinning if you have two sensors and the disc is half black and half white.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1

I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Santa Clara, CA)
Interview
Questions on physical design concepts , syn and apr
Sta questions about constraints
Concepts of transistor physics
Phone screen, multiple round, followed by conversation with the hiring manager
Overall good experience
Five engineers, a manager and director asked medium level engineering and architecture questions including proof of structured coding and design skills. Each interviewer had varying questions. They rated at 0 (won’t work with candidate), 1 (adequate) or 2 (exceptional hire) for a team survey of votes to compare multiple candidates.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Design a state machine to control a four way intersection of varying time traffic lights.
long but effective. 4 rounds of interviews ( quiz questions, computer architecture, past projects, leadership experience, basic algorithm questions, coding, etc.) each last 40 min. results came back after 10 days
