I applied online and then had a phone interview. I spoke with the Director of the department and the lead Engineer for the team I would be joining. They were both really nice. I talked to the Director for about 30 minutes and then the engineer for about 90 minutes.

Coding Technical Behavioral
I first met one of the managers at a job fair on campus. He talked about the company, and I discussed my background, programming knowledge, parallel processing, and multi threading skills. He was impressed and arranged an onsite interview. The first part involved a 5.5-hour session with three interviewers. The first interviewer asked general software engineering, object-oriented, and OS questions like mutual exclusion and semaphores. The second interviewer asked about HTML, CSS, Javascript, and data structures, specifically the fastest way to traverse a spanning tree. The last interviewer gave me C/C++ programs with errors to find, correct, and optimize. The manager was friendly, and based on his feedback, I believe I got the job.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- A lot of C/C++ questions were asked, mainly about pointers and their usage.
- There were numerous questions regarding multi-threading and parallel processing, exploring their differences concerning CPU, memory management, and the network.

First, you chat with HR on the phone, then the manager who has an open role calls. After that, you're invited to meet the manager in person, but you have to talk to HR again before that. It's the usual stuff, no curveballs. Then you get to talk to the department manager, some future coworkers, and engineers from the department. They asked me reasonable RF questions, and a few about Analog and Digital circuits, software, and a bit of RF theory. Basically, how parts and stuff work in general. It’s easy and fun if you know RF, but if not, you won't be able to answer.

- How would you hook up a RF amplifier chip?
- What should one consider for circuits that operate at 6 GHz?

Technical Behavioral
Got a referral from an employee. First, a phone screen with a recruiter. Then, a week later, a technical phone screen with the hiring manager, which was very technical and had lots of questions. After that, I went to the Sunnyvale office for an onsite interview. There were 5 people, each for 45 minutes, from different backgrounds like software, hardware, and RF. They did have a free lunch afterwards, which might have been a behavior interview, but I just acted normally. The food was just okay. About a week later, HR contacted me and offered me the job.
