      I applied online. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems (San Jose, CA)

      The interview was a managerial round conducted virtually. The interviewer went through my resume in detail and asked questions about my past research, projects, and experience relevant to the job description. Most of the discussion focused on my work with C++, performance optimization, and software design practices. It was more conversational than technical and aimed at assessing overall fit, communication, and understanding of the role.
