I applied through university. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems (Raleigh, NC) in Feb 2021

Phone screen with a team member through university career fair. It was a thirty minute audio call on webx. Interviewer didn't talk about the role, started asking questions directly, said that VLSI/hardware experience isn't required.
