I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Santa Clara, CA) in Oct 2012
Interview
Campus - job fair. Got an interview call. Lasted 50 minutes. Most of the questions were core systems questions and one coding question at the end. Started from interrupt handlers, to priority inversion to pipe-lining ,etc. Also asked about earlier projects, work experience. Asked synchronization problems like consumer producer and mutexes.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you implement semaphores / mutexes in interrupt handlers ? Should we implement mutexes in interrupt handlers ? Can we sleep an interrupt ?
It was a very good interview experience. They asked a lot about my technical skills, including concepts related to my field, problem-solving ability, and past projects. They also focused on my communication skills, teamwork experience, and how I handle challenges in real-world scenarios.
I applied online. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Durham, NC) in Apr 2026
Interview
I recently interviewed for a System Software Engineer position at NVIDIA. The interview was about an hour long and included both coding and system design questions. I felt the interview went well and was able to communicate my approach clearly, so I was surprised to receive a rejection. I would really appreciate any feedback on my performance to understand where I can improve for future opportunities.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Taipei) in Mar 2026
Interview
I sent an email to the HR I found on LinkedIn, got the reply 2 days after, and received OA after a week. Haven't started the OA, nor the next step if there's any, will update after finishing it.
