I interviewed with them a few years back. Sometimes
the questions are brutal, just keep your cool. It
seems no one gets hired w/o a PhD IMHO. PS:
I didn't get an offer as I'm only a lowly MSEE.

Qualcomm is very arrogant these days. The
inteview is an IQ test - either they like you on
first impression or they don't. That's what
happens when you have a monopoly -- hopefully Maxim
and Texas Instruments put an end to it.

As a former QC employee, I can attest to the fact
the the interviews can be brutal. This is how they
maintain their competitive edge, by keeping the
bar high to get in. I interviewed several hundred
candidates myself, and you'd be amazed at how many
PhD RF guys can't find their way around a Smith
Chart. Good luck. If you get past the interviews,
any pain you experience in the process will be well
worth it. P.S. You can get in without a PhD,
as I am a lowly MSEE myself.

Great, So to what extent they went in technical
issues, any specific questions? did they ask
about the course work at school? projects? Thesis?
so , for what kind of job u were interviewd? experienced
or New Grade/entry level and in which field? mean
Systems, Software,IC, RF ? don't mind i am
asking too much but that will be really helpful
for people like me wo are still apllying and waiting
for some interview call. Good Luck

Hi Friends I had an interview with Qualcomm
for software position. I was wondering if someone
can suggest me, how long does it usually take for
them to get back after the interview. Do you guys
think it is a good idea to email them with followups.
Best Regards..

I would "mail via post office" a letter telling
them how you appreciated the opportunity to talk
with him and how you feel that you could do a good
job for them. Mailing a letter goes alot farther,
shows that you are willin gto take the extra step

I survived two interviews in Qualcomm, one as a
college new graduate and another a few years later
as a more experienced RF engineer. Both interviews
resulted in job offers. And I am a lowly BS.
The interviews are technical. Just don't let
them rattle you. Have fun with it. Smiling goes
a long way. If you get stuck, discuss your thought
process with the interviewing engineer. He or she
can tell if you are on the right track. They will
give you hints. And you don't have to get every
question correct. I remember missing one or two.
Just remember to always keep a positive attitude,
a smiling face and above all ask lots of intelligent
questions. I would recommend going into
the interview with some of the fundamentals of your
expertise fresh in your mind. For example, an RF
Engineer should know his way around a Smith Chart
and know what IP3, NF, gain, band width, dynamic
range and match is as a minimum. Working
in Qualcomm, I found it refreshing working with
a group of sharp people. Their interview process
has succeeded in creating such an environment.

Hi, Are you a new grad or have you had prev
exp? Either ways be prepared to face Q's on basically
C and C++ and OS and some data structures. Be prepared
to write small snippets of code too, even though
its a phone interview.

gone through the telephone interview or onsite interview
kindly post the questions here if possible. It would
give me an idea about their interview. Thank

Well the qualcomm interview process is brutal. I
had 2 telephonic interviews and a 8 hr day long
in-site interview for a systems position. The onsite
included 2, 1 hr with a panel of 3 ppl and that
is the worst. They basicaly want people with through
understanding of fundamentals and ability to come
up with clever (simple) soutions to complex problems.
P.S. And I do have a PhD.

Well, I have had numerous in-person interviews at
qualcomm. Believe me or not, I'm not able to comprehend
what exactly they want. All interviews have been
very frustrating experiences. May be it was me only
who had been so unlucky so far. All in all, what
I can say is that - if you know good, clever, C/C++
programming, you have better chance. That's it.
I was not asked much about my projects, the work
that I had done but just programming questions.
Once I asked the interviewer, when he asked me some
tricky question on C, whether they really used those
tricky things in their product develoment - his
answer was in negative. I wish they give real life
problems to solve during the interviews rather putting
tricky programming exercises. Also, I wouldn't agree
that it's only the good technical brains that are
hired in qualcomm. If you happen to be lucky, you're
in otherwise, keep knocking at the door and no one
would listen. By sitting outside you know how you
could help that company with your background and
experience but hey, it's you only who think that
way till you become the part of that elite company.

I worked in Qualcomm not in US, but abroad. They
have their own interviewing mentality. You can divide
the technical interviews in the high-tech industry
to 3 categories: 1) The "what project have
you worked" interviews 2) The knowledge/memeory
interviews 3) The tricky interviews The
first category is the most common, and allows the
interviewer to understand if you are familiar with
what you are doing/have done and also gives space
to explore your theoretical knowledge. The
second category concentrates in your theoretical
knowledge only and checks how much you remember
theoretical stuff (formulas etc) The third
category tries to see if you can think outside of
the box and challenge with questions that aren't
necessarily practical or are part of the comapny's
products/your previous project. This is what Qualcomm
want to find it the candidates. People who can think
outside of the box and who are creative.
Good luck to all of you!!!

Well... got rejected again
.
God knows what these qualcomm folks want. This time,
even though they knew I'm not MS, invariably, each
interviewer got hung up on my B.E. qualification
as if, without 1.5 yrs. of MS, the whole 16 years
of education till B.E. and 12 yrs. of work exp.
is useless. Why they even bothered to call me for
on-site interview when they knew I don't have MS????
They seem to have abundant time just to talk to
people and try their "tricky questions". 3 out of
4 interviewers, printed out and started looking
at my resume the moment I reached their doorstep.
Except one, no one had an idea about my background
before I reached thier rooms. May be, they are pretty
busy
.
What an irony... Taking so many interviews and hardly
have any time to read/review resumes
.
I'm not kidding when I say that it's just not the
good, out of box thinkers that are being selected
in qualcomm... believe me or not.. I perosnally
know some candidates that got hired in qualcomm
in the last 4 months. Oh well... I'm done
now... I won't apply at qualcomm anymore.

Qualcomm interviews are tough - no two ways about
it. Is the position for an RF engineer doing
board level work - or IC design? Either way, there
are super-sharp people in that group. The RFIC
group would require a PhD in most cases, but 50%
of the board level people only have an undergrad
degree. The good thing is that questions are
never scripted - you will be needing to apply your
skills and analyze the situation. Looking for
very innovative people.

i've never had an interview with qualcomm but i
went through the messages and i find it odd that
many people asked for interview questions and instead
of providing interview questions most people just
complained or explained their experiences w/ qualcomm
interview!!! Please provide useful info not just
your opinion. I know from experience that most people
don't remember the interview questions but no one
fogets them entirely either. So, provide even a
sketch of a question rather than just ranting about
qualcomm interview process. take care and good luck

the best way to think about qualcomm interviews
are like european oral exams for graduate schools.
derive everything, like textbooks do, from noise
figure, input referred noise figure, am modulation,
fm modulation, to linearity IP3 to smith chart matching
examples. they ask questions, just like in
a school exam and ask you to solve them right there
and then. usually they are based on masters or phd
application of a concept you know from work, and
how deeply you understand it. not superficial knowledge.
they want people who can solve new problems,
and there are only a handful of schools that teach
that way anyway...

for rfic design they ask noise figure derviations
for bipolar or mosfets, input impedance, output
impedance, frequency responses of an amplifier
+ system level aspects and what you have experience
in in other words, memorize gray and meyer!

It would be pointless to post interview questions
- to reply to a guest's query. They are almost
never scripted unlike a lot of companies. The
interview process requires the candidates to do
a lot of analytical thinking. For mid to senior
level positions, the interviewers are battle-scarred
veterans who have done a LOT of work in the field.
They WILL grill you and it is easy to identify people
who fluff on their resume. There is a reason
that there are so much innovative patents coming
from Qualcomm, there is a lot of emphasis on candidate
quality. I disagree with the perception that
you must have a PhD - only for very specific groups
like IC design or communication systems design.
Most of the other groups - you do not need one.

emphasis on candidate quality. Sorry but
I don't agree with this. I can say that 90% of Qualcomm
patents are useless. Shortly they will take a patent
for walking, or for breathing
On the other hand, if you check the useful patents
you will see that you can count using one-hand fingers,
the names that release them.

i had a phone interview with QC 3 weeks ago for
the position of Hardware Design Engineer and it
was a technical one. I was asked basic Digital design
questions, like draw a Karnaugh Map, how can u double
the frequency coming into a flipflop, what is setup
time, hold time and the rest were abt my resume.
Thats wat i remember I have a second on-site
interview soon, and i'm wondering if it will be
more technical this time...or behavioural?
thanksss..and good luck u all

Of course the on-site interview will eb much more
technical one, because there you have papers and
board to draw the questions and giving the answers.

Hi guys, I had a good phone interview. The
interview was for a RF intern. Questions were
really basic ones-- based on RF design and Communications(modulation
stuff)-- CDMA basics.. thats it.. This being my
first phone interview. Feeling good after the interview.
Hope to hear a good news from them.

I interviewed with QC and now I have a job offer
in hand. I have been to many interviews so far (Microsoft &
Nvidia) and I found the Qualcomm interviews to be
the most professional. I had 2 phone interviews
before i was called for a full days interview(5
technical rounds). The questions ranged from tricky
C++ questions (copy constructos, virtual functions,
reference, pointers etc etc etc) to basic OS questions(context
switch, semaphores, virtual memory etc etc) to tricky
problem solving questions. I think QC beleives in
hiring ppl with a wide range of skillset and not
anybody with specific knowledge. This was evident
as not a single question was asked about my previous
work or papers that i have published. All in all,
be ready for very technical interviews. I like the
ppl, the job profile etc in QC over Microsoft &
have decided to join QC.

I think you have sound background, you would be
a good pick. They normally concetrate on problem
solving skills. Did they asked you the date when
they are intrested to conduct ur interview.

Well IMO just stay calm and cool, don't ever show
signs of being flustered. They look for that. Also
speak of things that show that you are a team player.
And yes they will ask you questions that they already
know you will not know. What they are doing here
is testing how well you handle stress, and check
out your problem solving skills. As I'm sure you
all know, there will be many times when your design
is not meeting all the verification test, and you
will be stupified. So if you get a question that
stumps you, then just be honest and say so but at
the same time try to solve the problem on the board,
explaining your reasoning. Well hope that helps.

Thanks attenuator for ur kind advice, but sorry
u r little late. I had my interview on wednesday.
Anyway u r right they look so many things other
than technical know how. Now i am in waiting queue(hopefully
won't be too long) for their reply. they told me
to wait 2-3 weeks for reply, isn't it too long or
should i keep bugging them after a week. Anyone
has any idea what are chances to get an offer after
onsite interview or if in case of denial when they
inform normally. Anyway i enjoyed the whole interview
process although it was long but not hectic. Witing
for reply.........

Hey Khas, I did, it was on Fri ... I think

Hey Guest/Khas, I too have an
interview scheduled for this position but I guess
its a different one than yours as it was posted
in their website only on Oct 25th. My background
is wireless comm/MIMO Space Time Coding. I do
have a good programming knowledge in C,C++ but how
deep did they dig on this. I might have to spend
some time with it. My interview is scheduled
fpr next week... If you guys dont mind, can u
give me some questions that you guys went thro'
in the interview. Thanks

Hi all: I have a on-site interview with Qualcomm
For Power management IC Design Engineer Position.
Does anyone know of any interviews questions for
this position or any similar position? What are
the type of questions taht would be asked? Please
help! Thanks in advance,

to dsur, Is this a power management IC design
or application engineering position? Anyway revise
magnetics associated with power supplies, LDO's
and switching regulators, buck-boost converters,choppers
and inverters, isolated topologies, thermal issues
etc. Be prepared to draw a lot of diagrams on
the blackboard and derive mathematically. the interviews
could last a full 8-9 hours collectively.
I have several close friends who either work
or have worked at Q as RF design or application
engineers or RFIC engineers the common theme
is Pros - It is a great company to learn,
work with some great technical people and they really
do take care of you. You will have a stable job
and the perks are great. Almost limitless opportunity
for learning. Cons - For the first 2 years
of your job, be prepared to work 70 hours a week
and get assigned some fairly routine tasks even
if you are joining as an experienced person.
If you have visions of swift promotions and moving
up the ladder, forget it. The management structure
is well entrenched here. Q is a great place
for entry-level engineers (0-5 years) who have an
opportunity to do cool stuff or seasoned industry
veterans (15 years plus with a PhD) because they
get to do all the bleeding edge work. they are biased
towards people with a PhD from good institutes.

Thank you Quest! for your suggestions...My on-site
interview with Qualcomm for Power Management IC
design Engineer was cancelled. Now they are calling
me in for a different position ' Analog/Power Verification
and Integration Engineer'...This position suits
my profile better, as I have experience with bench
testing, characterization and software testing of
circuits too in my internship. They said it would
be about a 4-6 hrs interview. Could you please provide
me with any tips for this kinda position?

If someone has gone onsite for that position
I am sure a lot of ppl would be interested in hearing
how it went. The trend in this forum seems

Hi, I did have an interview with QC on RF Sys
Sw position. But the most unbelievable thing
was the interviewer asked me just C++ questions
and it was definitely an unpleasant surprise because
i do not have C++ on my resume anywhere !!! So
just gear up for some strong C++ questions including
definitions, logics and syntaxes !!! He did not
care abt my RF knowledge at all except for Noise
figure definition. Good luck !!!

most difficult problems that I was able to solve
in my previous projects,my weakness,strength.....................
I was interviewed by 5 people. The overall experience
was interesting!

Bro, its a Software position .. you should
expect c++ questions. But I believe that should
not be the only focus.

That is exactly what i have to say !! When they
say RF Sys Software,,, they shud focus atleast some
topics related to RF also, right !!! Well, anyways,
if they do want candidates good @ Software ,then
they should give a closer look to the resumes for
finding what they want. It was definitely not
for me as i do not have C++ on my resume...

This sounds like typical HR dept. pre-screening
shenanigans (read "recruiters" that are direct hire
employees - no less inept). It sounds like it was
a pure SW job that just happened to be focused on
an RF application area. HR, as usual, has no idea
what the job is really all about.

Mr KPainter, It is easy to blame

in OOP. look into the req befor applying is what
I have to say. Do not blame HR / Recruiters you
should actually be thankful for at least giving

I must agree with you kpainter, that whenever
HR or recruiters are in the picture things go wrong.
These HR/recruiters involved in high-tech have no
idea about technology. Their function is identical
to the "search" function of WORD. Namely, they locate
the buzz words in the candidate's CV and compare
it with the words in the job description without
understanding the candidate's CV and background.
At this point the wrong candidate is being invited
to a false job interview and go out with a big disappointment
and the company waist his/her time! Damnd
recuiters!

own admission, HR IS the cause of the problem. That
IS THEIR JOB! And they wasted everyone's time by
NOT doing their job. HR should have did/insisted
upon a phone screen with the Senior Engineer. How
is it the applicant's fault that the guy went in
for an interview when the applicant obviously was
not what they were looking for? So, Dude,
are you an HR flunky?

I didn't apply. I can blame HR all I want.
I know from personal experience that most of them
don't have any clue about who would or would not
be a good canidate for any job. Having said
that, maybe the person applying for this job should
have did a little more research on the requirements.
I can't say.

No sir I am not an HR flunky(whatever that
is sup to mean), all I am trying to get across is
that in most companies candidates are not brought
onsite (at least the ones i have interviewed with)
without at least a phone screen(mostly by engneers
and I know as a fact that QC does that), those are
company policies and HR ppl dont ASK for phone screens.
I am not trying to pick on anyone. you are getting
it all wrong. if you have followed the thread, the
posn. in context is a RF s/w posn and the person
did not realistically expect not to have C++ questions
not to be asked. it is to that I am saying that
the HR should not be blamed.

Ok, what I am asking is this: On what basis
did the HR person feel that this person was qualified
to do software engineering at all given the applicant
didn't have any references to C++ in his resume?
That seems to me to be a VERY basic requirement
for this position. HR is tasked with placing qualified
applicants in front of hiring managers. They didn't
do that. You seem to be placing all of the responsibility
of applicant making it to the correct job within
a huge company on the applicant. But HR is firmly
stuck in the middle making the decision on who gets
an interview. Lets say that again:
HR decides who gets
an interview in every company I have ever
been in - not the applicant. I don't see how QC
is any different. In my mind, HR dropped the ball
and they made a potentially capable applicant (in
other than C++) feel like crap due to their incompetence.

Thank you everyone for all of the input about the

simple but important question.....in your opinion,
what do you think is the best (proper) dress code
for the on-site interviews? Did anyone have
a lunch interview? Off-site? On-stie? Was there
a lot of down time between interviews? What was
the length for each interview? Thank you
for any input. On-site interview in the next two

I had an interview at Qualcomm last week for a software
position, it lasted like 6 hrs, and had very little
downtime, I went directly from 1 person to the next.
Each interview lasted about an hour. Most of the
interviews were technical, where they asked me about
previous projects, work experience, and some C++
programming questions about linked lists, OOP ect.
The final interview was with an HR guy, who went
over QC's benefits, etc. He said he will get back
to me within 1-2 weeks about the position. I hope
this helps.

Hi Guest, how many of the 5 interviews were
C++ based and how many were RF / CDMA based ?
When you mean Linked List questions were
they about writing the pseudo code or did they ask
you to write the actual code - stuff like adding
a node / reversing a list and stuff like that ?
Were there a lot of questions on CDMA working,
how much on RF like amps, filters and finally was
the HR only focussed on benifits and pay or did
he have behavioral questions as well ? I
know a lot of questions .. but I guess a lot of
ppl would benifit. Thanks

Hi All, I have recently got over the telephone
interview and have an onsite interview. Some
of the questions that were asked during telephone
interview are: 1)use of Static keyword in C
2) virtual destructor, virtual function 3)Overloading &
Overriding 4)Semaphores 5)Test and set instruction
and some other. Can u guys who have completed
the interviews with QUALCOMM share your experiences
either telephone or onsite. It will really help
others. I am in very need of those questions
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in
advance

Dude -- you got rejected... sorry
If they want to go further -- they contact you
almost the next day or two. That two week buffer

I think the reason they didn't get back
to you to tell you that you didn't make the cut
is that then it would give you an opportunity to
question their judgment ...
in court.
This is the result of our overly litigious society.
Thank a lawyer.

I interviewed with QC and now I have a job offer
in hand. I have been to many interviews so far
(Microsoft & Nvidia) and I found the Qualcomm
interviews to be the most professional. I had
2 phone interviews before i was called for a
full days interview(5 technical rounds). The
questions ranged from tricky C++ questions (copy
constructos, virtual functions, reference, pointers
etc etc etc) to basic OS questions(context switch,
semaphores, virtual memory etc etc) to tricky
problem solving questions. I think QC beleives
in hiring ppl with a wide range of skillset
and not anybody with specific knowledge. This
was evident as not a single question was asked
about my previous work or papers that i have
published. All in all, be ready for very technical
interviews. I like the ppl, the job profile
etc in QC over Microsoft & have decided
to join QC.

Hello all, First, let me tell you that I
appreciate people contributing to this post because
I wasn't a least bit surprised what happened a few
days ago. I went to career fair at my university
and submitted my resume to QC and immediately he
started asking questions. In all he asked 6/7 questions
and somehow I answered them all and got them right.
They were simple questions though, nothing major.
I was asked about difference between dB and dBm,
why is it called Common Emitter and why is it usually
used at the end of circuits like an op-amp. Do you
characterize LNA as linear or non-linear component
and why? When designing an amplifier how do you
go about picking a device? What are odd harmonic
and what do you want to do with them. Another question
that was asked by the person to a person who was
in front of me was what's the difference between
MOSFET and BJT or why kind of device are they. The
person struggled to answer. My first response would
have been that one is currrent device and another
is voltage device and then talk about what kinds
of carrires they have. A phone interview is now
scheduled. I was wondering if someone has
an idea of what depth and topics they ask about
RF/analog IC design. In particular, I would like
to know what types of circuit questions they ask.
Do they go much in depth with device physics. I
read in the posts that they go in depth but a lot
of those were dedicated to system level/programming.
I know I need to know about IIP3, linearity, NF,
Gain, Dynamic Range, frequency response, smith chart,
etc but what about hardcore circuit questions. I
read somewhere that they made people dervie noise
figure for MOSFET/BJT---that seems odd. But still
I don't consider it really a hardcore circuit question.
I would appreciate if someone can provide some feedback
and useful information on interview questions for
RFIC/analog IC design. Thanks a lot. -B

on what type of questions to expect. The skills
expected for this position are as shown.
Knowledge of one or more of following languages:
VHDL, Verilog, C, Perl, shell scripting-Coursework
in digital logic design, digital circuit design,
semiconductor physics, design-for-test, VLSI design, &

Hello all, Hi, Yes you are preparing
in the correct direction. Just be strong in
basics, obviously you need to know about RF
Metrics, CE Amplifier right from its biasing
to analyzing its frequency response, stability
issues. Never forget Smith Chart and Noise figure
you are invariably questioned on these two by
almost every interviewer. I dont think derivations
are required but u need to know the final result
and its physical significance. Learn all the
block diagrams and know the operation of every
block in it, its components and its application.
I just finished an on-site with QC so these
shld be helpful for you. I was also questioned
in detail on LNA, VCO and PLL; like what kind
of topology is used, why is it used and why
not other topologies etc., The first thing is
know ur resume in and out that itself makes
u clear half of the interview, the other half
basics . Good Luck! -B

There is an unspoker management thing that your
work is "adaquet" at best lest you be Senior Verterbi.
Just remain positive and if you got the goods it
should go OK. Best, Michael

Hi, I was at QC for an onsite interview
for a Dig comm system SW engineer. The questions
were mostly from digital communications - fundamentals.
Very few programming questions. They asked most
of it during the telephone interview.

Is this the 'Digital Communications / RF
Systems Software Engineer' position you are talking
about, if so I just wanted to know what topics did
he cover in the interview and the programming questions
he asked. I have digital and wireless communications
and digital design on my resume. This is only the
first round of telephonic interview.

I got an offer from Qualcomm... Software developement
intern position Well, as I recalled the on-site
interview I had a warm friendly lunch with my boss(also
an engineer) and another engineer at restaurant....
it was quite a pleasant lunch and I guess it boosts
my impression a lot. After the lunch we went back
to Qualcomm building and started interview.....first
one is pretty much behavior ~ he just chatted with
me about what I had done in the college and which
classes I liked the most and why. I talked to him
more than 50 minutes....then the final technical
interview boss came...I went with him to a conference
room and my ass got whooped so bad lol he asked
me to write a 3x3 Medium filter using C .... well
I got the major part right but I guessed he wasn't
quite satisfied cuz he kept telling me to write
the "complete program" that the compiler understands...
then he asked me about CMOS .... the last part again
he asked me what I am good at....as I timidly answered
DSP. So he asked me about designing a linear phase
filter , type I II III IV, IIR vs. FIR and more
DSP.. He was intimidating but I indeed learned
a lot because he taught me not to put things I am
not best at on the resume. After a few follow
ups and appreciation e-mails they just informed
me that I got the offer ~ which took approximately
1 month after the last interview. Hope this
helps!! good luck to job hunting!

If you are applying for a legal position with Qualcomm,
it might be good to understand what "aggravated
litigation misconduct and standards abuse" means.

Has anyone interviewed with the Government Systems
division in San Diego?
I had a phone interview for the same area.
The first question was about my clearance and how
long it was good for. The next question was to tell
about myself and my job history. Next they dived
into each job and asked me to explain the highlight
of something I accomplished (some technical adversity
and how it was overcome). They then asked about
the purpose of vlans, the difference between a switch
and router (Layer-wise), firewall questions, how
to detect protocols, different ways to monitor a
network (passive vs active), subnetting (need to
study up on that - usually use a calc), programming
experience (vbscript/wmi for ntwk admin stuff),
had I ever had to deal with an angry customer and
how I handled it, had I ever had to influence a
decision and give an example, how to change a local
machine password in AD 2003, how to change a dynamic
account in AD 2003, what variables could be changed
on an account by a sysadmin, what was the difference
between a static address and dynamic address, descript
dhcp and how scopes work, describe dns, how many
DC's can be on a network (ans: infinite - however
I pointed out that you want to limit it due to the
overhead that each DC would use on the network),
how to map a printer, how to promote or demote a
DC (dcpromo), what fsmo (pronounced "fizmo" is (something
about flexible services - not sure). That was my
phone interview. There were more questions but I
don't remember all of them. I know it lasted about
an hour of me pacing back and forth. My onsite interview
is Wednesday and I'm really nervous. I've been in
the Navy for almost 20 years, and I'm more a jack
of all trades than a specific area. I've had to
learn new things for each facet of my job, then
dump it to learn something else. I'm good at someone
giving me a problem and telling me to figure it
out, as long as I have the resources to do it (internet,
library, hands-on). So I'm probably going to fail
the onsite interview but I'll take out of it quite
a bit as far as the questions and how qualcomm is
ran. So far everyone that I've dealt with has been
very professional and even pretty friendly! Even
if I don't get the job, it will be a GREAT learning
experience. I'll post everything I can remember
from the onsite that I learn in hopes that it will
help someone here get the job.

Well, it's been some time since my onsite interview
but it's well worth it. It looks like I've been
picked up for the job I applied for. Its for an
IT Security Engineer. For the onsite interview,
I met with 7 different people and was moved along
pretty quickly. The main questions asked (in no
particular order) were: Why do I want to work for
QCOM (cutting edge technology!) If given a problem
or software project that I knew nothing about, what
would I do to figure it out (Q'it - ask around,
google it, library, etc...) Did you ever have to
talk/sell a supervisor-manager into something they
really didn't want (millions of times) What are
at least two times where you went above and beyond
in your current or past jobs and what did it entail
(rebuilt a router from the ground up (hardware ,
then software while floating in the middle of the
Indian Ocean with no manual or tech support, just
myself; that was just one of many) Why don't you
have a college degree or any industry certs (jack
of all trades and my work doesn't allow me the time
for traditional or even non-traditional studies.

Hello everybody, I have been working as
a Hardware Design Engineer in a reputed MNC for
about 2.5 years. Recently I was offered a job by
Qualcomm Inc. for Applications Engineer - Power
Management IC group. Unfortunately, the base salary
offered (mid seventies) doesnt meet my expectations.
I make a decent base salary (mid-sixties) in Alabama
and am really thinking whether this job is worth
taking. I know that Qualcomm is one of the
best employers and takes good care of its employees,
but am unable to decide whether this offer is in
line with industry standard in San Diego... I have
been trying to negotiate but they are adamant...
They are offering me a decent sign on bonus and
relocation package though... I want to know the
opinion of some the experienced guys who work at
QCOM... Your input would be really helpful
Thanks and regards, KS

Hi everyone, Thanks to all for making this a
great thread to gain some good insights on QC interviews.
Ok, here's my situation, i got a phone interview
for a bench test/characterization engineer in RF
with QC. I have 2 years working in design, test
and manufacturing for high power RF components (not
really low power QC ASIC material). What kind of
interview should i be expecting? I am of lowly BSEE
order and all RF experince i have i have gained
through work (mostly practical), but from what i
hear they are theory freaks (kinda ironic that most
textbook theory doesnt work with RF). Thanks for
your input.

i think you are not getting your required compensation.
Try cost of living calculator to confirm
https://www.salary.com/ I think it needs
to be above $90K in san diego to match your current
compensation.

I had an onsite interview at qualcomm on 29th Feb
08. It was for a Sr. Software engineer position.
I had 5 tech rounds and I could do 100% in first
4 rounds but my last round didn't go that well I
did around 50%. So do I have a chance. If anybody
from this forum knows how do they select. Does it
have to all yes or majority yes from interviewers
will do. Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
I have around 4.5 yrs experience. Thanks

For RF Hardware Engineer you should expect the RF

RF circuits etc.

I interviewed with QC and now I have a job
offer in hand. I have been to many interviews
so far (Microsoft & Nvidia) and I found
the Qualcomm interviews to be the most professional.
I had 2 phone interviews before i was called
for a full days interview(5 technical rounds).
The questions ranged from tricky C++ questions
(copy constructos, virtual functions, reference,
pointers etc etc etc) to basic OS questions(context
switch, semaphores, virtual memory etc etc)
to tricky problem solving questions. I think
QC beleives in hiring ppl with a wide range
of skillset and not anybody with specific
knowledge. This was evident as not a single
question was asked about my previous work
or papers that i have published. All in
all, be ready for very technical interviews.
I like the ppl, the job profile etc in QC
over Microsoft & have decided to join
QC.

Thanks, venkat.m
Respected Profesionals, I am a 6th semester
student if Electronics Engineering from Asia.
I am too much passionate about RFIC field (Any field
related to wireless ,communication ,transmitter
etc) thAT i havnt considered any other internship
opportunity and my dream job is RFIC design
position at QC. I regularly go through job requirements
of QC and try to learn and requirements at my own
or with help of Professors.I am also improving
on interview preparation and revision of courses.
Unfortunately ,I could not be selected for interview
for any internship position.Probabily because
of Low GPA.At my freshman years ,I was not interested
in Engineering and harldy managed to pass
courses.But i have good GPA in serious Courses(that
interest me).I have also reviewing pass
courses to have a better understanding. I have
described the whole scenario,pleae advise me "How
I can improve my chances?" I will work each day
on requirements of QC but what to do with GPA matters?

Hey, how was your outcome for the interview ? Did
they offer you anything? I got the on-site

but not receive anything until now... Not sure whether
we are competing for the same position or not.
