Interview
Contacted by recruiter for x role. 1st phone screen went well, then moved on to engineer, where I was asked a few questions that did not fit with the job description, answered to the best of my ability and then received a rejection.
Went back on the career website later and realized the questions they asked matched up with another role on the same team that did not fit my experience at all, whereas I met all the requirements for the original position I was contacted for.

question relating to the project and how to approach
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Joby Aviation (California, MD) in May 2026
Interview
three interviews: first HR and then a Technical online. after the technical, if it convinced enough you get a third (and final) one in person. The first one is very much just a fit interview and the second one is not particularly difficult. The third one was almost two hours long, in person and quite detailed.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Joby Aviation
Interview
3/4 Stage Interview process where you'll meet with the recruiter, future coworkers, your direct report, and a senior leader. Was a very fast process and always checked in by the recruiter. Expect to know your resume very well and be prepared for technical questions pertaining to the job posting. Was given an offer but unfortunately had to decline for personal reasons. The team was very nice to talk to and helpful during the process.
