During this conversation we want to take the opportunity to learn more about you and your interest in working for Ampere! This is also your opportunity to ask us any clarifying questions about the role and organization.
- Step 2 – First Interview with Hiring Committee: Candidates selected for interviews will be invited to attend either a video or an in-person interview with our hiring committee, each lasting for 60 minutes, based on their preference and circumstances.

For certain roles, candidates may need to complete an assessment before their first interview with the hiring committee. If selected, our People and Culture Team will provide assessment details. We’re committed to fairness, transparency, and offering feedback to all candidates who complete assessments, regardless of the outcome. Your interest in Ampere is appreciated!
