I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at BAE Systems (Melbourne)
Interview
Lengthy, two or three interviews and lots of back and forth. The interviewers were professional and they went by normally. Initially the wrong team interviewed me. I was led to believe there was a local position and then there wasn’t, and then there was!

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at BAE Systems (Barrow in Furness, England) in Sep 2025

Very self explanatory and easy going at the start. Last stage of interviews does get much harder with the technical questions side. As long as you prepare accordingly you will be fine.
