Deca Technologies·Software Engineer·Hiring Manager Screen

Jun 2026
Hiring manager screen for a software engineer role at Deca Technologies, small globally distributed IC/package design team. Two questions, both pretty standard but the leadership one had some depth to it.
  • What does your current team do, and why are you interested in this company and role specifically?
  • Have you led a project or team? Walk me through the scope, your responsibilities, how you handled cross-site collaboration, and a real challenge you ran into.

“Pretty routine opener but I fumbled the 'why this company' part more than I expected.”

Deca Technologies·Software Engineer·Hiring Manager Screen

Apr 2026
Hiring manager screen for a Design Engineer role at Deca Technologies, focused almost entirely on IC-packaging tool experience. Pretty direct conversation, they wanted to know exactly which tools you've actually shipped with versus just touched in a class.
  • Do you have hands-on experience with Synopsys 3DIC Compiler, and how long would it realistically take you to become productive in it for production work?
  • Walk me through your actual experience with Cadence Allegro. What were you using it for and at what scale?
  • Have you worked with Siemens Xpedition in a production environment, and how would you distinguish that from just being familiar with it?
  • What's your experience with Calibre, and can you give a concrete example of how you used it on a real project?

“This is where you have to be careful not to oversell.”

Deca Technologies·Software Engineer·Onsite - Behavioral / Leadership

Apr 2026
Interviewed for a Design Engineer role at Deca Technologies and got hit with a deep leadership question that required a lot of specifics. The follow-up questions were no joke.
  • Walk me through a specific project or team you led. Cover the scope, team size, your actual responsibilities, decisions you owned, any conflicts or risks you dealt with, and what the result was.

“The part that tripped me up was how granular the follow-ups got.”
