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.
