Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Two interviews by two people, 45 minutes. They asked timing constraints, logic simplification and analog project. They asked me to draw 2-input NAND gate and size the gate. If upper input stays high, lower input jumps from 0 to 1, compared with the other situation, which is more fast. (notice the internal node) . As for the analog project, he asks me to draw 2 stage amplifier, dc gain, first pole and second pole.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm in Feb 2010
Interview
Two rounds of phone interviews and each one was from the staff engineer. It is easier for someone who has a matched background to get the interview opportunity. HR recruiter reaches you first to set up an interview time for you based on your availability. If you give them more options, that would be easier for the recruiter to nail down the date and time for you.
