The process took a little over a month.

I submitted my resume both online and through a friend who is a full-time employee. I was contacted for a phone interview a few weeks after applying online, about a week after sending my resume to my friend.

The phone interview went well. It wasn't too challenging but included many detailed questions about projects on my resume.

I didn't hear back for about four weeks. At that point, they contacted me again, saying I "might be a better fit for a different division." (I applied for structures, and they moved me to systems integration in avionics.)

I had another phone interview with this department. The interview style was similar, with a little more breadth and less depth of questions, but overall, it was the same type of content.

I didn't hear back for about 10 days, so I sent a follow-up email. I received a call later that day saying I got the job.

Lots of probing questions about design methods used in projects on my resume.

Also, a riddle:

3 lights in one room and 3 switches in another room. You don't know which switch controls which light. You start in the switch room and can do whatever you want with them, then have to go to the light room and determine which switch controls which light.
