Oracle's college recruiting HR contacted me, stating that I had been selected to explore employment opportunities with Oracle. (I did my undergraduate in electrical engineering.)

I interviewed with several different groups by phone and was flown out for an on-site interview with these groups.

There were a few technical questions, such as transmission line/EM theory and Fourier transforms, to assess my knowledge. However, they mainly asked behavioral-based questions and to explain my resume. It was essentially to see if I was a match for what the groups were looking for. They already seemed to know I was competent, which was really refreshing.

The building was fantastic, the people were very, very smart and friendly. There was free juice, soda, coffee, and tea for all employees, and there were no cubicles – just offices!

I received a formal offer for a hardware engineer position, specializing in board design, about one week later.

On a PCB, what could contribute to signal loss while traveling down a transmission line?
