I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Jan 2023
Interview
Two phone screens with group manager & section manager followed by a technical presentation and panel interview. Phone screens were mostly just going through resume and answering questions about the company. The technical presentation was on a past project I've worked on, and the panel interviews were highly technical and involved in-depth systems engineering, EE, and coding questions. Much more difficult panel interviews than I expected, but they thoroughly vet their candidates.
