I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Santa Clara, CA) in Sep 2018

Interview questions [6]
Question 1
How do you as a back-end designer work with front-end (RTL/Synthesis) designers to solve tough timing problems, for example, under what circumstances do you absolutely need them to solve on their side? What information or files do you provide to them?
Suppose you have a 4-bit shift register made using D-type flip flops with a positive Clock-to-Q delay and a hold time of 0. Is it possible for this circuit to have hold time violations? Why?
Suppose you discover that the circuit you are testing in the lab does not function correctly due to a hold time violation. What would be the first thing you try to make the circuit work?
