Ansys Campus Recruitment Process
Eligibility: 7.5 and above
Courses allowed: B.Tech - ECE
Job Profile: Product Specialist
Job Location: Noida
Process Details: Resume Based Shortlisting >> PPT >> Online Test >> Interviews
(All the four rounds of recruitment process listed below took place on the same day)
Online Test(consisting of 17 MCQs; 1 hour; all questions had negative marking):
1 ques on STA(could be solved easily by timing diagram) ,1 Q on python(simple program only to check whether you know that “list is passed by reference in Python” , 1 Q on avg speed , 1 Q on probability( google “1/2 airplane probability problem”), 1 Q on Fourier series(conceptual Ques), 1 Q on body effect, 1 Q based on Op-amp circuitry, 2 Q on logic implementation using CMOS , 3 Q on networks(RLC) ,some ques on Digital electronics like:-min no. of nand gates to implement (A'+B')(C+D), determine coding efficiency of given coding scheme wrt binary ,find mod of given counter(synchronous counter, easy ques)
Technical Interview (2 hours):
1) Tell us about yourself
2) Asked briefly about one of my Projects (what did u do ,how to implement on fpga). After this, there was no further discussion on projects at all)
3 ) ASIC vs FPGA; Which one do you think is used for your Smartphone chips? Why?
4) Asic design flow(should have atleast a rough idea about it)
5) Rtl vs behavioral code; Rtl vs gate level netlist
6) Draw cross section view of NMOS ; What can you do (wrt designer perspective) to increase the speed of NMOS if threshold voltage, doping and channel length are fixed
7) NMOS: How will you actually make Vsb=0 ,i.e., how the body and source connection is made actually among different layers in design? As I replied something related to tap cells, so their next question was:
8) Why Tap cells are necessary in design(and why their doping level is higher than that of substrate)
9) DC vs AC vs transient analysis (significance of each)
10) Draw transfer characteristics of CMOS inverter; Which analysis(dc/ac/transient) is used to obtain it?
11) Have you used simulation softwares ; How simulation waveforms are obtained e.g, Suppose you have to obtain these waveforms (transfer Characteristics and Voltage vs time curves) in lab then how will you proceed(e.g, which waveforms will you generate from function generator for obtaining a (a)AC characteristics,(b)DC characteristics (c)transient characteristics )
12) Why bode plot analysis is needed?
13) Phase response of a distortion-less LTI system; what does phase response actually signifies; why linear phase response is wanted
15) Is the static power dissipation of CMOS absolutely zero; Different components of leakage current
16) Different types of power dissipation in a CMOS Inverter
17) Effect on dynamic power dissipation of CMOS Inverter with increasing fan-out ( whether power dissipation will rise/fall )
18) What is ESD ; its mitigation (had to design a solution for the given scenario)
Phone Interview (15 min):
(This was more like a general brief conversation and the questions asked were similar to those asked in HR interview)
1) How do you think was your technical interview?
2) Why do you want to join Ansys?
3) Tell us about your family
4) Are you comfortable travelling to far-off places
5) Tell about your Strengths and weakness; Quote an incident to justify that these are your strengths; Are you doing something to improve upon your weaknesses
6) Do you want to go for higher studies? Why not?
7) Do you want to ask anything?
HR Interview (30 min):
I think this round was just for formality; The questions asked were similar to those asked during the phone interview earlier along with some other questions like salary expectation, what are your hobbies, why you don’t want to join government sector just like your father, do you have any active backlog, etc.
Verdict: Selected :-)
Tips/Suggestions:
->Many times during my technical interview, I wasn’t sure how to approach the solution but the interviewers provided hints until I reached a conclusive answer. (getting good, helping interviewers just depends on your LUCK)
->As you can see, during this interview, most of the questions were regarding the ”how” or “why” part of a concept, meaning that they not only want you to know the theory but also the physical/practical implications of it( coz that is what the industry demands)
->Here, they didn’t ask much about project but you must know your projects clearly especially the implementation part
->Interviewers don’t tell whether your answer is right or not, so try to approach the solution while speaking out loud your thought process, ask politely for hints if needed, and once you are sure, just say it with confidence
I hope this helps
All the best!!
