I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at General Atomics (Riverside, CA) in Dec 2021
Interview
The interview process was done over Zoom. No technical coding questions were asked-- all were conceptional related to C++. There was a sneaky physics question at the end too that caught me off guard.
