The interview process was a full day of back-to-back one on ones with the most important people. You'll be meeting with other engineers who are knowledgeable about your specific area. We also had lunch with the maintenance manager, and the day concluded with a final review session with the plant manager. In total, there were about 6 to 7 interviews, each lasting 30 minutes. While there is a scorecard, it's not the deciding factor for hiring; the final decision comes from a group discussion.

The interview coordination was smooth. It involved about 7-8 one-on-one interviews remotely and another 7-8 one-on-one interviews at HQ. The interviewers were really thorough; one had like 3-4 pages of questions prepared and I had to go through them with minimal guidance. Just make sure you know your basics well.

Linear Technology Engineer Interview Questions
Quoted word for word from Linear Technology interview reports.
“What is the gain of a common source amplifier?”
Read reports →“Given an op-amp with a 1kOhm output impedance and 1MHz GBP (assuming a 1st order gain rolloff), if it's used as a follower and drives a capacitive load, what capacitance value would result in a 45-degree phase margin?”
