Is it a fresh grad join intel must start with the GT's post, then converted to engineer? can the freshie get in with direct engineer's post? or it depend department?

Yes, you can directly be a permanent engineer in Intel after your graduation. However, it really depends on the business need and your timing during your application.

yup.. that's right.

thx
By the way, anyone here who ever go through Intel's interview which apply for an engineer post?
i would like to know what kind of question they asked?
may give some example?
i asked my friend, they said that some department, during the interview the candidate have to do programming on the spot?

I'm engineer from Intel KM. What I can advice you is to equip yourself with as much knowledge as there's no specific questions. It is most likely depends on your hiring manager. Some might just ask about yourself and you are good to go. Some might ask you write simple programming. I was asked to write some simple looping program.

and good luck in your interview!

oic..
my major skills are VHDL programmming and basic of C++... etc...
i would like to ask what kind of programming laguage that quite useful???
(I mean which kind of programming skill that most department require? is it C? C++? or other?? may give some example?)

how about the SAP? or J2EE?

Interview ? I thought he already got the offer.

If you having Hardware Description Language(HDL) knowledge, why not you looking for design job?
If you are really into design, i don't think you need SAP/J2EE/C/C++. What you need for design is HDL + digital logic.
Programming skills are depend on which department/field you looking to join.

I guess you are Electronics Engineering graduate?

yes, i from Computer Engineering (major in Electronic).
I do look for design job.... but no reply yet from the company... such as Altera and Intel...

may i ask your opinion, that HDL vs SAP/J2EE...? which one have better job prospect??
I worked as an Intern at Inte's PDC last year 2008 for 4 months....
i quite like VHDL and my final year project is using VHDL....

how about perl??? HDL vs perl??

I am not sure which programming language i should focus in....
I found that a lot of Job's requirement is SAP/J2EE/etc.... but not HDL...

Hmmm... depend on what you like to work as and you cannot compare HDL with SAP/J2EE.
They are different things. SAP/J2EE is on computing but HDL is on digital design.
May be SAP/J2EE have better prospect in KL?

Digital design is not about programming but about logic design knowledge.
HDL is just a language to describe your hardware or a bunch of code that you write to make it behave as the hardware you designing.
Perl can be used to simplified your tasks or automate your tasks. It is good to know but might not required for your daily jobs in digital design.

after your explaination, i think that i know what i prefer to...
i will continue with my VHDL and perl learning... meanwhile i will learn J2EE for backup...

I doubt they will ask you to really write the correct syntax. If you know the algorithm should do. Anyway, it also depends on which jobs you are applying for. As for my case, most test applicationg were developed using C++, so, C++ is more useful. For your case, I'm not sure. Anyway, which job you are applying. I thought intel will not hire outside at the moment

Great to hear that. But you need to know digital logic design in order for you to benefit from VHDL knowledge you have.
Else you can do nothing with your VHDL knowledge. btw, VHDL is outdated

so, verilog or system verilog is the better? compare to VHDL?
i do learn verilog also

verilog, VHDL... sounds like greek to me

i wouldnt say vhdl is outdated la. verilog is more readable as its closer to C (so maybe perhaps easier to grasp), vhdl offer more direct control over your states. in the end it all depends on the developer's preference. for me its still vhdl, though not touching it for 2 years makes me a beginner once again .

Any differences between "Computer Engieering majoring in electronics".. vs "Electornics Engineering majoring in Computer"

my Bachelor's Degree is Computer Engineering.
we did assembly language Intel 8051, 8085, PLC, C++, VHDL, software engineering, real time system, DSP,
embeded system, computer network, control system... etc
Linux, Matlab, Max-plus, Autocad, IC-design, Altera Quartus.. etc...

But for Electornics Engineering majoring in Computer, i am not sure...
