Full Experience
I recently interviewed for a Software/Digital Engineer position at Siemens EDA in August 2024. The hiring process began with an Online Assessment that consisted of 42 MCQs, which I completed within 1.5 hours. Following the OA, I proceeded to a single technical interview round that lasted about 30-40 minutes. My interview experience leaned more towards a digital role, although some of my batchmates had interviews specifically tailored for software roles. The round started with my introduction, followed by a discussion about the role itself and my preferences and interests regarding whether I preferred a software or a digital focus. I was asked a DSA question related to binary search and another one concerning array traversal. Additionally, a significant part of the interview involved a digital design question where I had to design a buffer. Ultimately, I was not selected for the role.
Interview Questions (1)
Design a buffer for a receiver. Two units, A and B, transmit and receive continuous strings. B then processes and resends. A buffer is connected to the receiver. The input is a continuous stream of strings, and the receiver has a size limit of 100. Specify the logic for the buffer's operation and the technology to be used. (Hint: Use a counter instead of flags).
