I applied online. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA)
Interview
Phone screen first, then panel interview with 4 people. Question ranged from C programming questions to bit sequence detection. Coding was done in Microsoft Word on a shared screen. Lots of emphasis on describing UVM architecture.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Design a state machine to detect bit sequence. How do you verify it?
The process was smooth and the interviewer was super friendly. Initial talk was about the role and few questions about my experience which was 10 mins and later was given a case scenario and was asked to write a sequence_item for it.
