I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA)
Interview
Skipped the telephonic since I had a reference within the company.
Interviewed with the San Diego team. Had interviews lined up all day from 10.30 am until 5 pm, with a friendly lunch in the middle.
Completely technical, spoke on different protocols, low power techniques, C programming for embedded, and building a verification environment. Overall all interviewers asked pointed, relevant and good questions, without the slightest hint of condescension. This was among the longest interviews I've had in my career and also among the most professional.

Question 1
Spoke about some post silicon validation. Haven't had much experience working in the lab so it didn't matter.
It was on campus hiring. It consists of an online assessment and resume screening, followed by 3 rounds of interviews, out of which 2 were technical and 1 was HR.
