Profile: Software
Selection Process: Test (online), Personal Interview
Pattern of the Test
The test pattern consisted of a variety of topics, including Op-amps, MOSFETs, small signal analysis, and transistors. The assessment format included 30 multiple-choice questions (MCQs), 3 subjective questions, and 1 diagram-related question, focusing on both embedded software and hardware concepts.
Technical Interview
Technical Concepts:
- Questions from the test related to Op-amps, MOSFETs, and mirror circuits.
- Specific inquiries about the astable multivibrator project.
- Equipment availability in the lab and operational voltage conditions for MOSFET saturation.
- Understanding of basic formulas, such as VGS−VTOV_{GS} – V_{TO}VGS−VTO, and characteristics of Op-Amps.
Embedded Programming:
- Discussion of MOSFETs acting as switches and implementation of AND gates using diodes.
- Differences between latches and flip-flops (FFs), as well as NAND/NOR gate implementation using CMOS technology.
Digital Design:
- Topics included digital design principles, CMOS, Static Timing Analysis (STA), and embedded systems.
Software and Resume Discussion:
- Questions on Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), Software Engineering principles, and tools like Power BI.
- Additional inquiries related to the candidate’s resume and experiences.
