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.
