I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at NVIDIA in Mar 2024
Interview
There are five technical rounds (including a screening round with the HR) and three managerial rounds to test your communication skills.
The screening round is with the HR to test how much do you know from what's in your resume. Once you clear that, the first technical round is with a Senior Solution Architect. I did not clear the first round.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
First round is just asking things on the resume. Nothing special.
Second round is about system design and domain knowledge. I was asked how to improve my RAG system in my previous intern. The interviewer is more interested in inference speedup and he wanted to know if I have any experience on Nvidia Nsight tool. Nsight System and Nsight Compute is enough. No need to talk about Nsight Graphic.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Washington, DC) in May 2023
Interview
I had an initial phone interview with hiring manager (30 min). We discussed my qualifications and we discussed recent projects Then had first interview (technical/behavioral) with another Solutions Architect (1 hr). This had a bit more technical questions such as parallel programming.
