very deep questions on analog electronics, with emphasis on RC filters. How do parasitic capacitances impact high-frequency performance in RC filters? How does the choice of dielectric affect capacitor stability? What trade-offs exist between sharp roll-off and phase distortion? How do non-ideal resistors alter frequency response? How does thermal noise influence precision in low-pass and high-pass RC filters?

It was a single, lengthy interview that lasted for 2 hours and was very thorough. Overall, it was a positive experience, however, I declined the offer because it was a contract position with limited job security.
