I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm in Aug 2013
Interview
It was through campus recruitment. They had two technical rounds. I cleared the first roud but was rejected in the second. In the first round they asked questions based on Finite State Machines. Also a simple digital circuit and it's truth table. Also I was asked to design an N-MOS inverter. There was also a puzzle - if there are 21 balls with only one weighing heavier, how will you find it using only one weighing balance in the minimum number of weighings?
In my second round I was asked to design the FSM for a Vending Machine. And then they asked me to solve a timing analysis question which I couldn't. It was a little complex involving setup and hold time.
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 (Hyderābād) 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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
