There were 2 rounds of technical interviews. First-round mostly focussed on digital electronics basics and CMOS VLSI-based questions. Few questions were also asked on ROM and memory.
2nd interview was mostly on my resume. Then I was asked to design a circuit. I had to make a circuit to check if 2 14bit numbers are equal. Then they extended it to N-bit numbers. Then they started asked questions on STA. They went deep into setup and hold working. Then they asked me about interconnect delays in VLSI.

Question 1
Design a CMOS circuit of MUX, Design a ckt to check if 2 N-bit numbers are equal.
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.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Hsinchu)
Interview
The interview process spanned 4 days with one 1–2 hour session per day. Each round began with a 30-minute discussion on my college projects, followed by deep dives into Computer Architecture (CPU Design, Cache ＤDesign, etc.). One of the sessions also included a simple whiteboard coding question.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Cache Design (calculating cache bits involves breaking down the CPU address into Tag, Index, and Offset field)
The interviewer was friendly and created a supportive atmosphere. They offered constructive hints when I got stuck, showing they were focused on my thought process, which made for a positive experience.
