I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Qualcomm in Oct 2021
Interview
There were two technical interviews (45min each).
Questions were simple (based on digital logic and basic verilog codes).
The questions were like:
1. Basic State machine implementation in verilog
2. FIFO implementation
3. Basic gates
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Mumbai) in Aug 2021
Interview
Asked basic questions from digital electronics. They will first see if you know the basics or not. then they will ask you deeper questions. study the basics very thoroughly. The interviewer was a chill person.
There were 2 rounds of technical interviews. First-round mostly focussed on digital electronics basics and CMOS VLSI-based questions. Few questions were also asked on ROM and memory.
2nd interview was mostly on my resume. Then I was asked to design a circuit. I had to make a circuit to check if 2 14bit numbers are equal. Then they extended it to N-bit numbers. Then they started asked questions on STA. They went deep into setup and hold working. Then they asked me about interconnect delays in VLSI.

Question 1
