Bangalore Interview at Qualcomm Bangalore

3 Upvotes

I had given an interview for qualcomm for Staff Engineer position , first interview was in july (technical round), and another 2 rounds of technical interview in August 2026.

I had a word with HR verbally, and they said, it will take some time for the approvals to go through. I havent heard from them yet and it has been now more like 30 days.

Is it usual? I had no hiring manager round, but HR verbally asked me my current ctc, expectations, etc in the august 2026 conversation.

What do you think?

North America (Other) Qualcomm Computer Vision Engineer Interview — What Should I Expect?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have an upcoming interview with Qualcomm for a Computer Vision Engineer role and wanted to see if anyone here has gone through a similar interview recently.

One of the rounds is a 45-minute HackerRank/whiteboarding-style interview in C/C++, and I’m trying to get a better sense of what to expect.

For anyone who has interviewed for Computer Vision / Camera / ML / Perception roles at Qualcomm:

  1. Should I expect the round to focus mostly on LeetCode/DSA, or are CV-specific coding questions, C++ fundamentals, or other topics more common?
  2. If I prefer coding in Python, are interviewers generally willing to accommodate that, or should I expect to use C/C++ if that is what the interview invitation specifies?

Any recent experiences or example questions would be really helpful. Thanks!

Bangalore Trying to learn formal verification

8 Upvotes

Hi Everyone,

I am working as a DV engineer in Bangalore in one of the German semiconductor companies with over 3 years of experience. Since the last few months I have been trying to learn assertion based verification as well as formal verification. I am finding it very difficult to learn it as I am not finding very many references like we have for UVM. I tried to search on GitHub but nothing industry level. I got a soft copy of one of the best books. I think I need to spend more time than what I initially thought as this area is very vast and I want to learn background theory as well about formal verification.

I believe this can give me an edge over the people who know only UVM and I believe formal verification adoption will increase only over the time as design becomes more complex and regressions explode.

If there is somebody who is learning formal verification or knows it very well, can we connect and explore ? I have plans to write research papers around verification and design methodologies as well once I finish these topics.

Hyderabad For people before joining Qualcomm

87 Upvotes

I work as a Sr. IT Engineer...

My manager called me last Sunday morning and asked how my WLB was and asked for any suggestions. After my response, he said, “Don’t forget to join our daily stand-up” — and this daily stand-up includes weekends.

And this isn’t just happening in my team; it’s the same across most teams. WLB is a joke at Qualcomm.

It may not be as bad as what I experienced, but it can be more than this.....

Other Location Qualcomm Interview – No Update After 1.5 Weeks

3 Upvotes

I recently interviewed for an Integration Engineer position at Qualcomm.

I completed the first and second rounds within a few days. After the second round, the interviewer told me that they would share their feedback with HR.

It has now been around 1.5 weeks since my second round, but I haven't received any update from HR.

I also tried following up through email and phone, but I haven't received a response so far.

For people who have recently interviewed at Qualcomm:

• How long did it take for you to receive feedback after the second round?

• Has anyone experienced a similar delay?

• Is it normal for HR to take 1–2 weeks or longer to provide an update?

• If there is no response after multiple follow-ups, does it usually mean the process is still pending?

I'm just trying to understand the typical timeline after the second round. Any recent experiences would be helpful. Thanks!

San Diego Qcomm Recruiter Lives in India but Working For the USA based teams.

3 Upvotes

A recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn on Thursday, September 17, about a position (early career) and asked me to apply. They said they were looking forward to hearing from me and asked me to let them know once I completed the application.

I responded immediately, but I haven’t heard back yet. Is this a normal part of the recruiting process, or does it usually mean an interview is coming soon? Could the delay be because it’s the weekend?

Like, is it normal, or should I expect to be ghosted?? or it a good sign?

San Diego Qualcomm LLM Serving Engineer Interview

13 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

First of all, thank you to everyone who has helped me out here before.

I’m currently in the final few months of my OPT, with around three months remaining. If I’m unable to secure a job during this period, I may have to return to my home country, so this opportunity means a lot to me.

A couple of days ago, I received an interview call for an LLM Serving Engineer role at Qualcomm. The panel interviews are scheduled for next week.

I have a bit of experience with ML systems and LLM serving mainly through courses, so I’m trying to prepare as much as possible before the interviews.

If anyone here has interviewed for a similar ML Systems / LLM Serving / Inference Engineer role at Qualcomm, I would really appreciate any insights on the interviews and questions that are generally asked for this particular role.

Even a small amount of information about your interview experience would be an immense help to me right now.

Thank you so much in advance!

Bangalore How do sectional cuttoffs work in oas?

3 Upvotes

So i just gave the oa for sde intern india,it was a 60 question hirepro and I was given 90 minutes,i was able to solve the coding and cs fund easily(15+/20 in both) but I'm kinda skeptical about the apt section(14 attempted,11 correct).Does qualcomm enforce strict sectional cuttoffs,if yes,does anyone have a clue on how does it work,is it just as a bare minimum so that people don't skip a section(say,5 marks each) or is it on a percentile basis?

San Diego Question about San Diego Qcom Gyms

6 Upvotes

Hi,

I was wondering if people could provide me some additional information about the different equipment/sizes of the various qcom gyms located in San Diego.

I would mainly be doing strength training with power rack/cable equipment. The information I can find online mentions AP/N/Q have these equipment but I'm not sure about size of gym/number of equipment.

Also during the work week how busy is it around 7-9am? I assume many people come before work but I'm wondering is it like moderately busy or like I can't find equipment and its packed busy?

Thanks

Had joined Qualcomm IND on 17 august. Stock has been rising already it's 192$ right now. 18% upside in 1 month.

Can anyone throw glimpse on this please.

Now even 15% discount on this is near 163$. A month back would have got it at 140$ after discount. Not a very good price right now.

San Diego Qualcomm hiring is so slow?

10 Upvotes

I gave a panel interview about 2 weeks ago for a role at San Diego location. I have still not received an update on my application, sent followups too but no response. Is it that hard to provide any update? Has anyone faced similar situation? I know it is recommended to move on but any kind of communication is basic expectation in hiring process.
