I applied online. I interviewed at Microchip Technology (Houston, TX) in Feb 2022
Interview
I interviewed for two hours. The questions are not very hard but tricky. Including some questions about how to deal with large files bigger than the memory size. How to deal with multithreading programming in racing conditions for multiple reading and writing disk

Question 1
How to deal with multithreading programming in racing conditions for multiple reading and writing disk
I interviewed at Microchip Technology (Santa Clara, CA)
Interview
Four interviews, some in person some online. Each interview is with a member of the team you will be working on. All interviews were very technical and test the limits of your knowledge.

Question 1
The interviewer asked me to implement a graph in C++.
The process included an initial recruiter screening followed by a longer virtual technical interview with the hiring team. The interview covered my background, project experience, C++/algorithms/data structures, scripting experience, and some FPGA/EDA-related concepts such as timing analysis and debugging. Overall, the process was professional and focused on both software fundamentals and domain knowledge.
