I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Intel Corporation in Jan 2022
Interview
2 stages interview. First stage with line manager with some technical and strength based questions. Second stage encompasses 2 interviews: hardware and software. At the hardware interview questions were mostly writing HDL code for hardware for certain tasks like bit masking and manipulation. (VHDL and Verilog both acceptable) Software part had some riddles at beginning and following up with C programming tasks, and finally some questions related to object-oriented programming and linux commands.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Write a structural (not behavioral) HDL code for bit operation tasks for instance multiplication. Write C program code for simple tasks like finding prime number or recursive Fibonacci.. (dont remember exactly) Questions about polymorphism in object oriented programming, protected vs private data members, inheritance, composition…. Question about linux commands: pwd, cd,… (well 20 commands were listed)
I applied online. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Toronto, ON) in Aug 2025
Interview
3 different interviewers, 30 mins each. Software focused even for hardware specific roles. First hour is software focused, last half an hour was Verilog. Software questions are not hard but caught me off guard as i was expecting more hardware-related questions.
