I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems (Montreal, QC) in Dec 2018
Interview
brief call interview followed by an in-person interview. The call was basically a review of what I did in the past and an introduction to Cadence Montreal. The in person interview was technical on the skills needed to do proper layout. Both circuit theory and Cadence software experience were tested.
