I applied online. I interviewed at AMD (Dublin, Dublin) in Oct 2025
Interview
Asked me to briefly tell them about myself, then moved onto my projects, and they will go into very technical detail about them. Then they asked a few technical questions.
This was an initial screening round focused on background alignment and basic technical fit. No live coding. No deep system design discussion.The interviewer showed interest in a CUDA kernel optimization project I worked on and asked follow-up questions about profiling tools and specific optimizations (e.g., memory coalescing, shared memory usage).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions Asked:
1. Can you briefly introduce yourself and your recent projects?
2. What experience do you have with CUDA or GPU programming?
3. How do you identify performance bottlenecks in a kernel?
4. What is the difference between memory-bound and compute-bound workloads?
5. Are you familiar with AMD GPU architecture, ROCm, or HIP?
6. What is your current visa status and availability to start?
It was the college placement process and after the initial shortlisting, there were 3 rounds where the interviewers asked in depth questions from what was mentioned in the resume, then they progressed to ask about various behavioural questions as well.
