Process
I had several phone interviews with Qualcomm for their embedded firmware engineer positions, but I failed to score an on-site one, mostly because I wasn't very prepared for their technical questions.
So, make sure you have the basics down before applying.
As much as I remember, those interview questions covered:
- C fundamentals such as pointers, function pointers, and function calls
- Other computer science knowledge
Good luck!
