I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Raytheon (Tucson, AZ) in Jan 2023
Interview
Virtual Interview with campus recruit. Basic interview. Ask about your experience and interest. Got offer after interview. Be prepare for security clearance, this might take awhile. Security clearance might take up from 6 months to 12 months periods.
This was for a power electronics position. The questions were technical but not too difficult. They covered the basic concepts that are important to designing power converters, and for someone with an MS in the field I felt it was on the easier side.
