Interview at Qualcomm as a fresh graduate 1.5 years ago.

There were 3 on-site interviewers in 2 hours. The interviewers were nice and knew their stuff pretty well. The main focus seemed to be on the way you think and express yourself, rather than solely on your knowledge.

A phone interview was scheduled 2 days later with the department manager. It seemed they had learned enough about my technical specifications, so it was mostly a conversation to get to know each other better. The offer came within 2 weeks.

Pretty standard questions, easy but cover a broad range:

• Semiconductor manufacturing process
• Memory cell architecture (related to my last internship)
• Basic programming knowledge (easy sorting algorithms)
• Analog circuits (structure of 2nd order LPF)
• RF (Smith chart, etc.)
• My college FYP on AC-DC converter design
