      Graduate Hardware Engineer Interview

      10 Feb 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Cambridge, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Arm (Cambridge, England) in Jan 2017

      Interview

      APPLICATION I applied for a Graduate Hardware Engineer - Design and Verification position through the ARM Careers website. A week after I was contacted by email for an interview using HireVue, a website through which you record yourself answering questions in a limited amount of time. HireVue INTERVIEW, 90 minutes 4 behavioral questions + 2 VHDL exercises. 3 days after I was invited to an on-site interview, with travel and accommodation expenses fully covered by ARM. ON-SITE INTERVIEW, 90 minutes Face-to-face interview with principal engineers from the teams included in the application (CPU, Media Processing and Systems & Software). It included a short resume check followed by 3 technical questions about memory interfacing, CPU microarchitecture and FSM design. Two weeks after the on-site interview I was contacted by phone and then by email with an offer from 2 teams. Both HR and interviewers were very laid back; it was a really smooth experience and I would certainly recommend that.

      Can you write a VHDL implementation of a counter?
