I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Qualcomm in Apr 2024
Interview
They asked me a riddle. I was tested on various digital design concepts, some C++, writing SystemVerilog concepts based on simulation output, general verification concepts (no UVM yet). i was also asked about my long term goals and to what extent i understand the company's work.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I can't say exactly but one SystemVerilog question was to implement a finite state machine given a certain output. Review sequence detectors.
I applied online. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Dublin, Dublin) in Mar 2021
Interview
1st round was technical interview, I applied for the role two days back and got shotlisted very quick. I applied through Linkedln. The interviewers were very gentle and the hiring process was very smooth.
I applied online. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in Jan 2021

It was 5 stage virtual interview process with 5 different people from the team. It was my first virtual interview and it was really a different exposure rather than phone interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All the interviewers are Indians and were really nice. I had a really good conversation each interview is about an hour.
Everyone had a set of questions prepared and asking me to solve.
1. Full SV - fork join_none, virutal functions, $cast, static variable, Cache size - direct mapping, MESI FSM, constarints, parity check - post randomize
2. STA - hold violations, max freq, FIFO depth, metasibility
3. DUT - muti master muti slave bridge verification - draw the env and testcases, AXI signals
4. UVM - phases, AXI why not APB?, AXI lite vs. AXI 3.0, Driver code, coverage class and do cross coverage.
5. HR -> about team work, resources you used in a project, set back you faced. Explained most employee benefits, applying for H1B and green card, etc
