I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Hyderābād) in Jun 2025
Interview
The interview process was quite structured. It lasted around 3 hours and included two rounds, each conducted by a different interviewer. The first round focused on technical questions covering embedded systems, device drivers, and C programming, while the second round was more about problem-solving and debugging scenarios. Both interviewers were friendly and encouraged me to explain my thought process clearly. They also asked some situational questions to assess my approach to complex issues.

Question 1
What happens internally when you write to a memory-mapped register in an embedded system?
Good. Technical details were discussed clearly, together with my past projects and relevant domain knowledge. The interview was well structured and focused, with questions that allowed me to present my experience, technical background, and problem-solving approach in a coherent way.
Posso dizer que num geral positiva, processo rápido, em uma semana foi realizado. Perguntas de nível médio, bem técnicas mesmo e assertivas. Entrevistadores simpáticos, duração longa de entrevista, mas foram ok.
