Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Qualcomm (Mississauga, ON).
Entrevista
I had 6 rounds total. The first two were with senior directors who really drilled into my past projects and took time to walk me through the team's work and org structure — they seemed genuinely engaged.
Then I had three rounds with staff engineers. We covered some coding questions I wrote edge detection logic and an FSM, but I made a couple of mistakes on the first pass that I caught and corrected when the interviewers pointed them out. We also talked about DV concepts like reference models and how to build self-checking testbenches.
The final round was with a senior MTS from the Markham office, and it was pure behavioral no technical questions, just asking about my background and team fit.
