Startup ASIC interview preparation
Practice the compact, cross-functional problems common to a small silicon team: precise RTL contracts, reusable verification, firmware boundaries, and bring-up evidence. Explain both implementation and ownership.
Use simple mechanisms with explicit corner cases, then show how assertions, scoreboards, and lab signals prove them. This is an independent startup-focused collection, not an employer-specific interview claim.
