First round was with HR, not aware of the specific duties of my position or field. They were nice and asked easy questions but didn't know how to answer questions specific to the position.

I applied online and then a recruiter from the company reached out. In total, there were three interviews. The process included a recruiter call and then two onsite interviews with the chief engineers. The interviewers were all very friendly and made me feel welcome; I had a great time interviewing with them.

Behavioral Presentation
Had multiple calls before two interviews, one at the office in Irvine, and another on site in Redondo Beach to make things work with schedules and get this great company opportunity moving faster. Working with The Austin Company, who have a 100-year history in Aviation, Industrial, and Design Build projects for repeat clients, would be a huge motivator. For a company that's 140 years old to have survived and adapted through major world events like wars and depressions, you'd definitely want to retire there!
