I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Chennai) in Mar 2026

There are 4 interview rounds.
1st 3 are technical, and the final one is a managerial round
All technical rounds focus on pointers, threads, semaphores, mutexes, memory management, and debugging/output questions. DSA is must.
