Started with a screening, which then led into an interview. It was pretty straightforward, but they mentioned it could involve more interviews depending on the specific team and project. They were really open and gave feedback throughout the whole process.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview process involved an initial phone screening and then an in-person interview. The phone screening was mostly to confirm my interest and put a face to the resume. They briefly touched on the job duties and if I was still interested. A few weeks later, I was flown out for the main interview. I met with 5 people: two managers, some engineers, and HR. Except for the HR chat, the others mostly explained the role's responsibilities. I didn't get asked many questions, but the ones I did get were about my past work. The interview wrapped up with a 30-minute technical presentation I had to give. The experience was alright; I felt a lack of interest from their side right from the phone interview, which was a bit surprising given they flew me out. It was still a good chance to learn about their unique niche in the defense industry.
