      Modem Systems Test Engineer Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Hyderābād
      No offer
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA)

      Interview

      I applied for the position in mid August and got the invitation for the phone interview after a month. The phone interview lasted around 45 minutes. It was purely technical, covering all aspects of MIMO and OFDM. Make sure you know what you are taking about because they cover the concepts well in depth and throwing out buzz words might land you in trouble. The interviewer was very nice and explained about the position after the technical round. He offered me to come on site straightway. One important tip is to make sure you ask good questions about the position at the end. On site interview process is very exhaustive and in depth. I had 8 rounds, one HR and 7 technical. All the interviewers were very nice, professional and supportive. The interview process covered all the basics of wireless communications including fading, modulation techniques, interleaving, source coding/channel coding, MIMO equalizers, fundamentals of TCP/IP, digital communications, signal processing and C programming (particularly pointers and linked lists) In between the interviews, they take you out for lunch. Make you you strike an intelligent conversation during that time and ask relevant questions. Also make sure you are very thorough with your resume as they can ask about any experience mentioned their.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Take a random sequence of bits and perform source coding using Huffman code. Write an optimization function for a 4 way traffic intersection, where vehicles are coming in from all directions. [Hint: Think cars as client in need of service arriving at an arrival rate and traffic light as the server process with a service rate] Drive the bit error rate of BPSK. Write a regular expression in Perl to search for a string pattern.( this was unexpected since I had told them I did not know perl ) How would you test a Modem if you get complaints from field about cell phones not working. Describe the test cases.
