I sent in my application online and they got back to me quickly to schedule two phone interviews for the next week. The interviewer sent me a paper beforehand to go over during the interview. While the paper's technical content wasn't too difficult, I struggled to answer all the questions.

I had a Skype interview with an engineer. The questions weren't too hard. They asked about my resume, setup/hold time violations, the FPGA design flow, some bit arithmetic, and about time closure and how to get it through the design.

After submitting my resume via email, I was contacted directly to schedule an onsite interview, bypassing any initial phone screens. The first round involved a committee of six engineers, including senior, entry-level design, and application engineers. The second round was a meeting with the hiring manager. The interview covered a range of topics from my resume and basic RF concepts to analog circuit fundamentals, divider design, PLLs, test system configuration, LNAs, mixers, PAs, and microwave basics. I was also asked if I was interested in a test engineer role.

Had a bunch of phone interviews and then a bunch of direct interviews. Mostly they talked about my CV and some things about implementation. They really tried to find what they were looking for. It was a good interview experience overall.
