This was followed by an online technical assessment testing core engineering fundamentals. After passing the assessment, I had [1-2] technical interview rounds with senior engineers. These rounds were deep dives into transistor-level behaviors, layout optimization, and firmware troubleshooting. The interviewers really wanted to see my problem-solving approach rather than just hearing the correct final answer. The final stage was a behavioral panel with cross-functional managers, utilizing the STAR method to gauge how I handle tight lab deadlines, high-pressure environments, and team collaboration.
