I have an interview coming up for a GPU Driver Software Engineer position and was wondering if anyone here has gone through the interview process recently.

I'm mainly trying to get an idea of what the interview(s) is like. Is it mostly:

• C/C++ coding questions?
• Graphics API questions (Vulkan/OpenGL/DirectX)?
• GPU architecture and graphics pipeline?
• Operating systems / driver concepts?
• Algorithms/LeetCode-style problems?

I've been working on my own Vulkan renderer, so I'm comfortable talking about graphics, but I'm not sure how deep Qualcomm expects candidates to go into GPU hardware or driver internals for the first interview.

If you've interviewed for this role (or a similar graphics/driver role at Qualcomm), I'd appreciate any advice on:

• Topics that came up
• Anything you wish you had studied beforehand
• The overall difficulty and format

Thanks!
