Interview
I applied online on October 2017 through a staffing company and it took almost 2 and half months to schedule my on site interview. I was interviewed on December 2017 by 2 interviewers and it was one hour technical and non technical interview.
It began with an introduction of yourself. Then, they take a small amount of time trying to understand what your research is. After that, comes the technical questions on RF basics, statistics, and telecommunication. When the interviewers were done asking questions, it would be your time to ask questions. After that, the HR will take over and maybe ask some behavior questions.
