      6 MonthHardware Engineer Interview

      28 Nov 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Cambridge, England
      No offer
      Average interview

      Application

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

      Interview

      Got invited to ARM's hq in Cambridge 1-2 months after applying. I was interviewed by one of their hardware engineers. He asked me first if I knew VHDL which I didn't at the time so he asked me to write a program C. He then asked me optimise the program (remove redundant statements to make it faster etc .). As some counting was being performed in the program , I was asked to design a digital counter that could perform such a function. Lastly he asked me to draw the internals of an SoC (System on Chip).

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      A bit surprised by the SoC questions. I would advise people to look up SoC architectures from companies like Qualcomm etc.
