I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (Laurel, MD) in May 2015
Interview
Shorter than I had initially expected. One hour with two senior folks, one hour with the group lead, and then lunch. Questions were predominantly about my resume and background as well as discussion about what the group does and its organization.
The only gripe I'd have is the length of finding out whether or not I was getting the job (it took 6 weeks).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What sort of systems engineering plots are you familiar with?
