Hardware Validation Engineer Interview Questions

34 hardware validation engineer interview questions shared by candidates

Tell me the waveform output at probe 1 and 2. The problem consist of a dc 5V going to a 5V sine wave input going to a capacitor. This system is then going into a 12V dc input with a two 1K resistor in parallel. This feeds into a emitter side of a transistor with a +-3V toggle as a base. The collector is going to ground. The two probe points is (1) before the cap and (2) before the emitter.

Personal Questions: How will you solve missing a milestone for a project? Why are you a better candidate for this job than the others? What have been your worst mistake (school or work project) and how did you compensated, or solved it? Which was your most dificult subject at school and why? Techinal Questions: Difference between C and C++? What is a dictionary in Phyton? What is the difference between a flip flop and a latch? What is an static class in java? What is polymorphism in OOP? HDL design problems. Digital Circuit design problems. C programation problems. Differences between a class and a structure? Memory syncronization problems. Logic questions: You have 3 sacks full of coins but 1 of them contains fake ones that look exactly the same but weight .1 g less than real ones, you only have 1 chance to weight them, how do you know which sack contains the fake ones? You again have 3 sacks, one is full of red balls, the other is full with black balls and the last one has both red and black balls; all of them are labeled for their contents but are labeled WRONG, what is the least amount of movements that arenecessary to label them correctly?
