I applied online and after about a week, HR reached out to set up a phone interview with the hiring manager and a test engineer. This was followed by an onsite interview a week later where I met with four people who focused on my RF and programming skills. About five weeks after that, I had another onsite interview with two Sr. Managers, again focusing on RF. A couple of weeks passed, and then I was asked to schedule a call with a director. Another week went by, and I had an interview with another Sr. Director. I haven't received any feedback from anyone though. The whole thing took a really long time.

The process went pretty well. They scheduled back-to-back Teams calls, and it all flowed nicely. There were 4 rounds in total: the first was a non-technical HR screening, the second was a somewhat technical screen with the hiring manager, and then there were two more rounds that were fully technical.

So for the RF Test Engineer role at Skywards, we're basically looking to see if you know your RF stuff, if you can actually do the testing, and how you handle problems. We also want to hear about your past projects and how you work with others to make sure you're a good fit technically and as a team player.
