I had a technical phone interview with one of the engineers from the hardware team. The conversation lasted about 40 minutes, with roughly 5 minutes at the beginning going through my resume and previous project experience. After that, they jumped into technical questions focused on digital design and system-level architecture. The interviewer emphasized real hardware challenges like signal synchronization across different clock domains, and design trade-offs when implementing advanced CPU features such as out-of-order execution. The session was fairly interactive — they expected not only direct answers, but also reasoning about design choices, potential pitfalls, and how to verify such systems. Overall, it was more like an in-depth design discussion than a quiz-style interview.

Introduced myself and research in the beginning and got asked bunch of technical questions with simple coding problem at the end. The manager explained about the team before the interview ended
