      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cirrus Logic in Mar 2012

      Interview

      1 phone interview, and then an on-site interview after that. The phone interview was quite in-depth and had a number of technical questions that required knowledge and direct experience on the relevant tehnologies and tasks of the position. The on-site interview consist of one-on-one interviews with different groups and engineers.

      LDO circuit analysis, and draw the circuit/block diagram. Test parameters: What is dropout Voltage and how do you measure it? What is the Current limit and how do you test it?
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Op-amp circuits, and circuit analysis. How to measure open-loop gain for an op-amp? What would cause instability in an op-amp circuit?

      Validation Engineer Interview

      26 Jul 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cirrus Logic

      Interview

      They only did initial phone screens. They said I didn't need Analog validation experience then asked analog validation questions throughout the interview. I believe they're using this as a way to hire H1B people. I checked a database of all the H1B hires and noticed that this company hired several at a rate lower than the industry average for the area.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They asked about analog validation techniques.
