I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Baltimore, MD) in May 2016
Interview
Met an engineer during the career fair of an IEEE conference. Described my somewhat unique situation and emailed her so she would get some prospects for me. I took nearly a whole month before the HR person finally arranged an interview for a standard internship (not what I was looking for).
Finally, had a phone interview with 2 separate engineering managers. They each took turns asking questions related to their line of work.
Just basic questions about the concepts for and things I have done.
Just be sure to review your field vocabulary and the basics of what you know, so that you don't get caught up on just the name of something.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
What's Object Oriented Programing?
Then delved deeper into the concepts of OOP and the benefits of it...
The questions were mostly all behavioral. There was 1 question where they just wanted me to describe a project. They wanted to know how I approached the problem, what resources I used, if I ran into any problems and how I overcame them.

Question 1

Pretty easy and the questions were pretty basic and it was cool and I got an offer and everything was straight forward only one panel interview which is rare these days.
My engineering interview went really well! I answered all their technical questions confidently, and we had a great discussion about my projects. The people were nice and the conversation went well as a whole.
