  Three Rounds from C++ and DevOps Basics to LRU CacheAMD · Software Engineer · Onsite · Oct 2026

How do you quickly retrieve data from a massive amount of data? The principles and concepts behind red-black trees (RB tree) and tries (prefix trees). Using Jenkins and its plugins. How to efficiently read/fetch a huge log file (How to fetch large lo…

  The author reports receiving an AMD GPU software engineering offer after interviews for a Toronto/Markham team. Recruiter outreach led to an initial screen and an extended hiring-manager conversation. An in-person onsite followed roughly two weeks after availability was requested, and the offer arrived about three weeks after that visit. The four onsite sessions covered inference systems, agent a…

  AMD Project Manager interview: Agile and team-dynamics discussionAMD · Project Manager · Other · Jul 2026

  After a recruiter conversation, I met with two team leads and then had a second round with a senior manager. The tone was friendly and easygoing, so the process felt more like a conversation than a test. Most questions concerned my past experience and behavioral situations, especially how I would handle team dynamics when things were not working smoothly. Agile and Scrum terminology came up repea…

  AMD Software Engineer interviewAMD · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jul 2026

  I started with a hiring-manager call about my background and the work I had done day to day. The rest was panel-heavy: several interviewers in each session, mixing technical problem solving with technical fit. The whole process came to about six rounds, starting with recruiter screening, then the hiring manager, followed by detailed technical discussions based on my experience. The difficulty was…

  AMD Software Engineer Interview Experience: Strings, arrays, and edge casesAMD · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jul 2026

  Rejected

  My first round was a DSA-focused screen with two medium coding questions about strings and arrays. I felt they cared most about handling edge cases carefully, not just arriving at a working answer. The interview went smoothly, and the interviewer was helpful when I got stuck, which made the pace easier to handle. Overall, it was a positive experience. The questions followed a familiar clean-codin…

  AMD Software Engineer interview with four technical and scenario roundsAMD · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jul 2026

  The process started with a hiring-manager-style conversation about what I’d been working on day to day, and we went deep into my past experience. After that, I moved into a panel format, and the loop became more technical and focused on problem solving. I completed four rounds in total. The panels seemed to have a couple of interviewers each, and the questions mixed technical problems with scenar…

  AMD Software Engineer interview with NPU and hardware accelerator focusAMD · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jul 2026

  Offer

  I started with a recruiter call about my location and sponsorship needs, followed by an explanation of the interview process. Next came a behavioral interview with the hiring manager, who followed up on almost everything I said. Since the role was with an NPU-related group, I spent a lot of time connecting my background to AI and hardware accelerators. The technical part included another coding-f…

  AMD Software Engineer interview with two medium DSA questionsAMD · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jul 2026

  My first round was mostly DSA, with two medium LeetCode-style questions focused on strings and arrays. The interviewer seemed especially interested in how carefully I handled edge cases, rather than whether I could get a happy-path solution working. The pace was steady and the conversation felt supportive. When I got stuck, the interviewer nudged me back in the right direction. Overall, it went w…

  AMD Software Engineer interview: low-level C/C++ and hardware integrationAMD · Software Engineer · HR Screen · Jul 2026

  My process began with an initial recruiter and hiring-manager screening, followed by a fairly rigorous technical loop. The format was described as a sequence of two to four rounds. The interviews focused on low-level systems knowledge, C/C++ coding, and how hardware and software need to work together. The questions weren't abstract brainstorming. They kept coming back to how I'd reason about syst…

  AMD Software Engineer interview: RTL verification and debugging fundamentalsAMD · Software Engineer · Jul 2026

  Rejected

  My interviews were hardware-centric from the start, with a strong focus on verification and digital-design fundamentals. I had a digital and RTL round covering Verilog/SystemVerilog, UVM, and the practical work of verification. A second round brought together projects and real scenarios. The first technical section asked for solid fundamentals rather than broad buzzwords. The project round asked…

  AMD Software Engineer interview: systems and hardware-software integration loopAMD · Software Engineer · HR Screen · Jul 2026

  The process began with a recruiter call and a hiring-manager screen, followed by a more demanding technical loop. Low-level systems knowledge and hardware-software integration were central. It was described as a two- to four-round sequence, and it felt like the depth increased steadily. In one round, I spoke with an engineer panel and other interviewers. The whole process took roughly a few weeks…

  AMD Software Engineer interview: WhatsApp-style design and DP questionsAMD · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jul 2026

  Offer

  The hardest part of my loop was the systems-level design work. I was asked to cover both high-level and low-level design, then I got dynamic-programming prompts as part of the technical evaluation. One design prompt was essentially to build a messaging app like WhatsApp from scratch, and I had to explain what tech stack I'd use if I were developing it today. For the DP questions, I solved one med…

  Software Engineer at AMD: computer architecture and UVM questionsAMD · Software Engineer · Jul 2026

  I went through a technical-focused interview that leaned heavily into computer architecture and verification. I was asked about UART, SPI, and I2C, including how those topics connect to the bigger picture. We also covered object-oriented programming and verification languages and concepts such as UVM. The discussion then moved to bus protocols including APB, AHB, and AXI, followed by coverage, as…

  My interview centered on my project experience, beginning with how I handled both my master's and undergraduate work. The technical conversation moved into more specific areas, including timing and static timing analysis, where the questions became fairly in-depth. I also discussed architectural topics and some DFT basics. The interviewers wanted me to speak concretely about what I had done and c…

  AMD Software Engineer interview with two weeks between HR and technical roundsAMD · Software Engineer · HR Screen · Jun 2026

  Offer

  The HR screening covered the usual setup, and the technical process followed about two weeks later. The technical questions seemed straightforward at first, but they didn’t stay shallow. The interviewers kept digging into who I was as a person and how I worked, using my answers as the thread. The interviews felt more like an examination of how I function than a pure test of puzzle-solving. Even w…

  AMD Software Engineer interview: two in-person technical rounds and delayed feedbackAMD · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jun 2026

  I had a couple of in-person technical rounds, and the interviewers gave me a positive signal because the sessions went smoothly. The process felt normal at the time, so I expected that I was moving forward. Afterward, the recruiter didn't update me for about two weeks. I followed up repeatedly, asking several times, and the response eventually became negative. The communication felt unprofessiona…

  Three Video Rounds on Verification and PCIeAMD · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Apr 2024

  Offer

  I'm based in Vancouver, Canada, and wanted to share my AMD interview experience from back then. I moved to AMD in 2022 from another chip company. The Vancouver site didn't have an office yet at the time, so the whole process was video interviews. There were 3 rounds in total, 2 of them technical, each about 1 hour. Overall it was mostly Verification plus the PCIe protocol. On the Verification sid…
