So after applying, I heard back in about six days. The process had two parts, and each part was about an hour long. There was a quiz online and then a phone call where they asked me technical stuff. I talked to two people overall.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

Applied online, then got a call from HR two days later saying they were interested. The phone screen was a few weeks after that, then a 30-minute phone interview with an engineering manager. It wasn't too hard, just be ready to talk about your resume and answer simple behavioral questions. The on-site interview was a panel with an engineering operations manager and a quality assurance lead. The interview is pretty chill, and my interviewers said that was the goal. They talked about the job, asked about ten behavioral questions, and then you get to ask questions. Some questions will make you think, and a lot of them are based on experience. Be ready to talk about project and technical experience, and what was the result, as those were the hardest questions for me. The whole on-site interview lasted about an hour, with a short tour of the manufacturing plant afterwards.
