I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Bengaluru) in Oct 2025
Interview
Qualcomm Walk-In Interview (Embedded / Software Role) – Bengaluru
Total Rounds: 4 (3 Technical + 1 HR)
🧠 Round 1: Technical (Operating Systems – In-depth)
The first technical round focused entirely on Operating Systems concepts. Topics included process scheduling, deadlocks, inter-process communication, memory management, and synchronization. The interviewer went in-depth to test both theoretical and practical understanding.
💻 Round 2: Technical (OS + C Programming)
This round was approximately 75% OS and 25% C language. The interviewer asked two coding questions, one based on arrays and another on strings. Apart from coding, there were scenario-based OS questions related to process management and semaphores.
⚙️ Round 3: Technical (Problem-Solving + Debugging)
This round tested logical thinking, debugging skills, and knowledge of Embedded concepts. Some questions were focused on pointers, memory handling in C, and optimization techniques.
👥 Round 4: HR Discussion
The final round was with the HR team, where they discussed work experience, current and expected CTC, notice period, and project background. A few behavioral and situational questions were also asked.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Revise Operating Systems thoroughly (especially scheduling, memory, and synchronization) and practice C coding and debugging questions. A clear understanding of concepts + clean coding style is highly valued.
I applied online. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Farnborough, London, England) in Jun 2026
Interview
Three weeks after applying, I was invited to a 30-minute screening interview for this Friday. However, only 20 minutes before the scheduled start time, they requested to reschedule to Monday. Given that I had already rearranged my day to accommodate the original meeting, I chose to withdraw my application out of respect for my own time.
I approach interviews spontaneously, focusing on genuine technical discussions rather than memorized answers. I share real experiences from my embedded software projects, discussing complex issues with sensor integration very naturally.
It will be 3 round interview process with 2 round technical and 3 will be managerial round .
In Technical round it would be DSA : LinkList, Bit manupulation mostly
They would ask regarding oops concept .They will also ask regarding question mentioned in resume . It would be interactive .
In managerial round you could be asked about work related stuf and salary expectation
