I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Austin, TX) in Jan 2025
Interview
I went through 3 rounds, and all of my interviewers were very sweet and friendly. The HR team was also very helpful throughout the process.
All of them were of Medium - Hard difficulty. They really grill you on your past projects and experience, which was great.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A common question in all interviews was about my previous internship experience in which I did PCB design and bringup. Starting from that, they asked me everything I did in that project as well as a lot of extra theory to test how much I knew about the field.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Santa Clara, CA) in May 2025
Interview
Awful experience - truly unprofessional.
Had applied through a referral, after 3 (!) months they came back. passed through an HR screening and a technical interview and was invited to an onsite hiring panel.
Even before the panel - they couldn't answer any of my questions (even simple as - who is the hiring manager for that position?). they were super un-organized.
the onsite was also very not organized (changed 2/5 interviewers without notice). and I didn't even come to the best part:
they **completely ghosted me**. yes, for a director-level role. and yes - after a final onsite panel. not a single word from them (it's been 2 months past the onsite)
Completely ridiculous. don't ever go to interview for the SPT (system product team).

Question 1
Totally irrelevant, questions were scattered but that's not the point
Interviewed at NVIDIA for a software developer role: tackled algorithm questions, system design, and GPU parallelism. Emphasis on C++, multithreading, and debugging. Culture fit, innovation mindset, and scalability skills assessed.
