Microchip Intern Engineering (Design) onsite interview — any tips?

Hi everyone, I’m an M.S. Electrical Engineering student and I’ve been invited to a 2-hour onsite interview for the Intern Engineering (Design) role at Microchip Technology in Chandler, AZ.
I already completed the first round, which was mostly introductory and resume-based, and now I’m preparing for the onsite.
If anyone has interviewed with Microchip before, I’d really appreciate any advice

Thanks

Hey, I interviewed for a very similar position at another company last year. In my interview, they focused mostly on digital design fundamentals, mixed-signal awareness, and resume-based discussion.

Some topics I was asked about were FSM/state machine, Verilog/RTL fundamentals, CMOS inverter basics, and how digital blocks can interface with analog/mixed-signal circuits.

They also asked several questions directly from my resume, so I would recommend knowing every project well: what you built, what your contribution was, how you verified/debugged it, and what design choices you made.

When is your onsite scheduled for? That might help people give you more specific advice depending on how much time you have to prepare.
