Sunnyvale, CAPosted Mar 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I had a very domain-specific first interview that focused more on scenario-based reasoning than classic coding.

Initial round (technical domain + resume) — I discussed my resume and role expectations, and then answered scenario-based questions about PD concepts plus basic CMOS circuits; the interviewer wrapped up by outlining job-related responsibilities. Outcome: I didn’t move to the next stage; the takeaway is that this screen heavily tested electronics-domain thinking and problem-solving scenarios.
