asic verification interview
Hi all,
I have an interview coming up and the position deals with ASIC Verification.
My background:
Digital IC design, Analog IC design, VLSI, Digital Systems(VHDL, FPGAs). All are undergraduate courses.
The position is entry level:
ASIC Verification Engineer
-Own and create test plans, test infrastructure (test benches), and tests for ASIC simulation at the block and system levels, for pre-silicon simulation and/or post-silicon verification.
-Perform ASIC testing to ensure that ASIC functionality is to specification and performs as intended.
-Lead design reviews of your test plans, test benches, and/or tests.
-Participate in design reviews of others' IP modules, test plans, test benches, and/or tests as appropriate.
-Use of revision control techniques and tools to control any files you modify.
Use of bug-tracking tool to log and track failing tests and/or chip bugs.
During my phone conversation with the hiring manager, I was told the interview might deal with coding structure and she also mentioned that they use Specman E at work.
What kind of questions should I expect during the interview for this entry level position? Please post links to helpful sites. All help is greatly appreciated.![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
UPDATE 1: The job is in USA. Anyone who has been interviewed or conducts interviews in the verification field, please shed some light. Thank you all. :idea:
