      Senior Firmware Engineer Interview

      10 Jul 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Santa Clara, CA
      No offer
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at NVIDIA in Oct 2022

      Interview

      The process is incredibly long. From time of application to the end took 2.5 months. For such an established company to take this much time and internal resources to get a candidate vetted is highly unusual. The interview process is also very weird. At the beginning of each interview, they asked me -- the candidate -- how many prior interviews I've had with them. Which tells me that each interview is independent (not necessarily a bad thing), but it also shows how little internal transparency they have to incoming candidates. Lastly, after the hiring team being very quick to respond during the process, when it came time to give or decline an offer I ended up getting hardly any responses and felt like I had to keep following up to continue the process. That being said, there are a lot of smart engineers working there, and I did enjoy the interviews. They asked good questions and were pleasant to talk to.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Standard questions like: - Reverse bits in a 32bit unsigned integer - Swap two bits in an unsigned integer - Implement a scheduler in an embedded RTOS - Lots of bit manipulation and XOR tricks

      I applied online. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Santa Clara, CA)

      Interview

      interview with the team members, and managers some questions about your related experience, and some medium level coding questions on arrays/linked-lists, depending on which structure you would like to solve the problem the recruiter wasn't very helpful when asked about how to prepare the interview.

      Senior Firmware Engineer Interview

      9 Feb 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Santa Clara, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Santa Clara, CA) in Dec 2018

      Interview

      Two phone interviews followed by an on-site. After two weeks, got a verbal offer and finalized salary. Kept delaying to send an offer letter for about 2 months, later they closed the position and did not send after, stating the company is scrutinizing headcount and have closed the position. This felt like how some flights keep delaying and delaying and then finally the announcement will come in saying the flight got cancelled.
