      Software Development Engineer Interview

      Sep 22, 2019
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Qualcomm in Dec 2018

      Interview

      I got a call from HR in 2 weeks after applying and I was given online programming and after clearing the test I had an onsite interview for 3 hrs. 3 technical round and one managerial( each interviewer took 40-60 mins), technical interview topics-> linked list, bit manipulation, 3d graphics, c/c++, OS and device driver concepts. the manager asked some behavioural questions and puzzles.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Consider the following 3D scene representing an old town's main square: • A single statue o static geometry, high polygon count o low complexity fragment shader • A particle system simulating smoke o animated, rendered as a large set of points • A small set of characters o animated geometry, medium polygon count o medium complexity fragment shader • A large set of buildings o static geometry, low polygon count o low complexity fragment shader • A background image/skybox • The camera/viewpoint is continuously moving within the scene. How would you render the statue - by itself – using OpenGL to achieve maximum vertex performance (vertices/second)? How would you render the particle system - by itself - using OpenGL to achieve maximum vertex performance (vertices/second)? How would you render the scene - as a whole - most efficiently on a GPU using OpenGL? Given that the 3D scene was being rendered correctly but that you wanted to improve the performance further, how would you determine if the main performance limitation/bottleneck was located in the application, in the vertex processing stage, or in the fragment processing stage?

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Qualcomm

      Interview

      The interview was very easy. If one is thorough with the basic data structures and algorithms, it should not be a difficult task to crack the technical rounds.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Explain a deadlock and design a simple solution for the same.
