J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 jours. J'ai passé un entretien chez Google (Mountain View, CA) en juill. 2015
Entretien
The recruiter contacted me for a position for a hardware engineer within the Maps program. Although I have done hardware development for years, I stepped out for a few into focusing onto Signal Integrity yet working closely with hardware group. Consequently, I may have been a bit rusty on some specifics, but overall I am fairly comfortable with the process in general.
The first step was a phone screen which led to an on-site interview. Then silence for over two weeks.
Suddenly the recruiter responded that they liked my Signal Integrity experience and would like to have me come in for another round to interview with their Signal Integrity engineers. Another two weeks or so later, I take more time off-work to come in for the second round that went as smoothly as an interview process possibly could.
And then....and after two pings to the recruiter.......silence....
It all took well over 2 months. While I don't have a degree from a fancy school that they would like to see, I am an experienced and creative engineer who's had very unique experience set.
And at the end I never heard from the team.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
The onsite interview questions were relatively basic/undergrad level:
- Basic board development process
- Simple state machine question
- An op-amp circuit (a log amplifier)
- Basic time-domain reflectrometry
- Simple serdes functionality
If you are rusty, you'd be caught a bit off guard (like I did in some cases)
A series of signal integrity questions:
- Simple lossless t-line example with 0 ohm source and open end
- Diff via optimization
- Basic stackup design overview
- Equipment checks
And so on
J'ai passé un entretien chez Google (Mountain View, CA)
Entretien
I was invited to have an interview with two engineers for the Google Watch team, had 2 rounds in one day, 30 min apart. Each took 60 min to complete. Didn't tell me the result for 2 months and no feedbacks were provided.

Entretien
2 technical rounds after an OA. Tested digital design fundamentals and focused also on my past projects. They really emphasize on basics. They ask for a preferred programming language beforehand (I chose Verilog) and then they would ask you to code up some circuit in verilog in a google doc.

Question 1
Difference between FPGA and ASIC development cycles?
II was shortlisted for the position based on my resume, which aligned well with the role requirements. Following that, I successfully cleared two rounds of interviews that evaluated my technical and communication skills.
