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.
