I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TSMC (Phoenix, AZ) in Sep 2025
Interview
It was not structured at all and they were more interested in whether I had a US internship experience. I had the interview scheduled for Equipment Engineer - CVD and it got changed to Process Engineer - CVD less than 24 hours to my interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you have any US internship experience? Can you work on the weekends?
Few behavior question and also ask you some basic semi-conducter knowledge. Such as DIBL and basic concept of MOSFET. It's not that hard just to make sure you can tell the concept fluently
Self intro, Why are you interested in this position? What are your strengths and weaknesses？
Can you describe a challenge you faced and how you handled it?
How do you solve technical problems when you get stuck
Standard interview with HR then Team Members. Very relaxed and calm interview environment and interviewers were friendly. Each interview took about an hour each and was ranging from technical and behavioral queations.
