Candidate-reported interview process
Two rounds with different art directors, they were both super kind and seemed like really great people. I went through my projects in my portfolio. Probably should’ve put together a deck.
Recruiter contacted me to schedule a time for a Hiring Manager call, there was no recruiter call before, we only communicate online and the first round is directly with the Hiring Manager. Recruiter included the JD in the email but the job posting was already removed from the website so I have no idea what the interview is about, and the recruiter is not replying to any follow up questions I have about the interview.
The interviewer brought up questions on S-parameters, amplifier basics, Smith chart reading, vector network analyzers, and calibration methods, and they talked about measurement accuracy, impedance matching ideas, and hands-on RF characterization workflows during the discussion.
