1. given graph and car with light sensor and we want to find the right spot of the dot on the graph. it was binary search classical
I applied online. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Bengaluru) in May 2026
Interview
Deep whiteboard interview , was asked to draw graphs for non ideal characteristics for cmos design and pvt corners. Questions related to project and physical design concepts. Focused on semiconductor physics and technical depth in each answer.

This was the second round lasted about an hour or so. The first round was mostly about my work as I had 3 year experience and I had to walk them through the projects I did etc..,.

Question 1
If the combination logic between 2 FF's is cut like an interface, how do you set_input_delay and set_output_delay for left and right partitions. The clock is the same for both.
