The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Santa Clara, CA) in Mar 2012
Interview
2 digital logic puzzle questions
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
there is a disk half painted white and the other half black. There are two sensors and the outputs of these sensors are the only signals available. How will you determine if the disk is rotating clockwise or anti-clockwise?
there are 1000 wires in which any number of them can be swapped among themselves. How many bit patterns would you send at the input side to get the correct number of wires that are swapped?
Met on a zoom meeting for first round, second round were three separate meetings with engineers, third is with manager. Each round was deeply technical, ranging from rtl design to fsm design to theoretical architecture design.
I applied online. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Santa Clara, CA) in Jan 2025
Interview
2 rounds, technical + behavioral interviews focused on what I had done in my projects. Various questions on C++ and verilog were asked. Make sure you know your technical skills that are posted on your resume, they will ask you about them.
