I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at TSMC (Portland, OR) in May 2024
Interview
First round is screening, but still ask a lot of question
Second round has department manager, section, and engineer
Non-stop asking question for an hour, very detailed in different way. You must understand very well of what you wrote on the resume, and try to be organized. A lot of behavior question too
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
collaboration, conflict etc. why TSMC. Ranked your dislike of your current company
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.
