I applied online. I interviewed at Qualcomm in Nov 2017
Interview
I applied online. The process took around 4 weeks. The Qualcomm staffing arranged the first phone interview. I have been contacted by the hiring director for an hour phone interview. The hiring director gave some introduction about Qualcomm long term plan of the project. Afterwards, I introduced myself and went through my CV. Later on, the Analog IC Design Engineer asked some basic Analog Design questions

I applied online and contacted by the hiring director for phone interview. The hiring director gave some introduction about Qualcomm long term plan of the project. Afterwards, I introduced myself and went through my CV. Later on, the Analog IC Design Engineer asked some basic Analog Design questions as follow:
1. What is the purpose/advantages of having multiplier for MOS design (1:M)?
2. What kind of simulation tools that you use for your design (SPICE, Spectre,Monte Carlo, etc.)?
3. What is Early Effect?
4. What is the body effect transistor?
5. Please explain about PAM-4 Ser-Des of your project.
6. Why do you use Gray Coding?
7. etc. (Everything linked to my CV)
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.
