I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Qualcomm in Jun 2012
Interview
I received an invitation to apply for this position from a QC recruiter. I thought that QC had a lack of qualified engineers and tried to get them from other companies. But I was wrong. I applied for this position and an interview coordinator contacted me to setup the interview. But when I tried to refresh my info about the position before the interview I found that the position was closed. I am not stupid and understand that a closed position means that a proper candidate already found. But why did QC perform a comedy with the interview? More honest would be to inform me about closing the position without wasting my time.
About the interview. It took about 45 min. The interviewer was polite. He told me about his group. After that we discussed coexistence of LTE and Wi-Fi and after that he asked me several questions about C language.
1. How to convert FFC from hex to decimal?
2. What value of sizeof of structure containing char c and uint16 i?
3. static variable
4. volatile
5. How stack is changed when a function is called?
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm in Feb 2012
Interview
Asked about 4G LTE technology, MIMO, basics of DSP z-transform, AWGN channel, OFDM. If you are perfect in these areas it is easy to ace the interview. Be perfect with LTE technology.
