I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Jaipur, Rajasthan) in Aug 2012
Interview
First, there was a multiple choice computer based test. 3 parts: 1) Aptitude: Pretty simple questions asked. 20 questions
2.)Computer programming: 15 questions .lengthy and time consuming questions on mainly loops and conditional statements
3.) VLSI : MAinly questions on Microprocessors , digital design and a few on communication as well. 20 questions.
Then shortlist for interview. 2 technical rounds and a HR.
Technical rounds: digital : questions on digital design, state diagrams, CMOS invertors and Microprocessors
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
one question on CMOS invertor and another on harmonics of PSRR and something like that
Single day interview with multiple rounds.
Total process takes around 4 hours.
The interview is more of a discussion with each intervier asking different aspects of vlsi.
Like, cdc/rdc, previous work exp, theoretical knowledge, coding experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Hyderabad) in Mar 2025
Interview
interview process typically includes an online aptitude and technical test, followed by multiple technical interviews focusing on core subjects, problem-solving, and projects. Later rounds assess system design, coding, and real-world scenarios. A final HR interview evaluates communication skills, cultural fit, career goals, and alignment with AMD values.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm
Interview
One round of interview around 1hr, Interviewed with Design Manager. Mainly Technical Questions and discussions about Digitial Design and SystemVerilog. Did not go through the next step of the process. But the interviewers are nice.
