Question 1
Can you walk me through how you would run a standardized test for a DUT?
What's P1dB, IP3, noise figure, and phase noise? Why are they important to know in RF testing?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Teledyne Microwave Solutions

Easy and personable, they ask standard interview questions, nothing technical. Interviews conducted in 2 parts, including various members of the organization. First round is a phone informational, second round is a 3 hour 3 part interview with a tour
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Teledyne Microwave Solutions (Folsom, CA) in Nov 2022
Interview
Was contacted via a recruiter and then setup with a phone call with the hiring manager. Had a good positive conversation for about an hour with the hiring manager. About three weeks later I was invited to the facility for an on-site interview with four persons for about two hours. Ended up going over due to the last interview (see commentary below).

Question 1
Three of four interviews were typical. Last interview was unusual. I was drilled or questioned on every detail of my resume as if it were a court session. Seemed very inappropriate -- do your background checking outside of the interview.
