I received an email scheduling my interview for two days from then. I was interviewed by a panel. I don't think my skills really fit the role I was interviewing for. They said they'd let me know and I'm waiting to hear back.

Technical Behavioral
The hiring manager called me for an interview on short notice so I had limited time to prep. It was mostly technical questions about aerodynamics and propulsion, not behavioral. It was challenging but fine if you have good fundamentals, just know it's not all about general background stuff.

Behavioral Technical
I sent in my resume on the company's website and then got an email and a call a few weeks later about setting up a phone interview. We scheduled it for an hour, but it only took about 30 minutes. It was mostly pretty basic questions. They asked about my hobbies and interests, and then a few technical things about circuit elements. It was a really chill interview, no pressure, and the interviewers were super nice. I heard back the next day with their decision, which was awesome.
