I learned about RA from someone I knew there who thought I would be a good fit. I applied online through the University Connection portal and was put in touch with the engineering manager for an initial interview. Based on that recommendation, I was invited to Milwaukee, WI for the Rockwell Round Robin Interviews. The first day included info sessions, an "Engineering Olympics" with team challenges, and a dinner reception. The second day had a round robin interview format with four interviews back-to-back over three hours.
