Crack the Hardware Interview – from RTL Designers' Perspective Verification, Implementation, Synthesis & Power

Unlike software engineers who are able to find countless online resources such as LeetCode, Stack Overflow, etc., hardware engineers can hardly find their counterparts. The golden information is here and there, but nowhere summarizes it in an organized way that can be easily followed.
This series of books is intended to close the gap, by sharing our knowledge, experience and perspective towards digital design interviews. Our goal is for readers to gain real industrial experience by understanding what skills the companies are looking for. The structure of this book is organized in the same way as how the modern ASIC / VLSI industry partitions the workflow.
Specifically, in this book, we focus on Verification, Implementation, Synthesis and Power. These are important skill sets that all hardware engineers should master. In addition, we show an example front-end design checklist. Design engineers can use it as a reference. Students and interviewees can use it to strengthen the understanding of front-end design flow.
We do hope you find the information in this book useful for preparing digital design interviews, and landing a dream job in the industry.
