I applied this job when I was at the senior year of my master study. The job title I applied for is process integrated engineer in Hsinchu, Taiwan. They don't really need you to wear formal on the day of interview but most of the people did. After the reception I wanted for a long time for the interview because there was so many people. While waiting for the interview , I've done the English exam and also scholastic aptitude test. The one who interview me was a department manager. The interview started with a self-introduction and then the interviewer will go through your files and ask some questions. After that, he basically introduce how do they work in TSMC. At the end is the time fore to ask questions.
Both interviews on Teams. First interview 30 minutes standard questions on conflict. Second interview mostly about experience from resume and why you want to work at the company. Straight forward interview.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TSMC (Phoenix, AZ) in Jan 2026
Interview
Self Introduction for 5 minutes at first. Then they asked behavioral questions for 25 minutes. Then asked technical questions for 10 minutes. They mainly care about whether you are familiar with semiconductor device knowledge and fabrication process.
Ask academy background. If you can follow company’s strategy to relocate. Willing to do overtime since it’s gonna happened frequently. Overall it’s not too harsh. The point of the interview to check the personality more than your ability. Just to make sure you can get your job done under high pressure.
