I applied through usajobs.com and got an invitation for a tour of the facilities within 1-2 days. The tour included visiting several units and their labs. In one of the labs, I took a written test on circuit analysis. Following the tours, I had an interview session with a group of 4 managers. After the manager interviews, I was told I'd be contacted. Having some contacts there who said I made a good impression certainly helped. I received an offer about a week later, which was surprisingly fast for government hiring.
