Very thorough interview for the required position. I was interviewed by 2 people, one was a Senior Electrical Engineer, the other was the HR. They both asked very interesting and engineering related about my background and my experience.
The interview process was professional and in-depth, Was asked about past projects and contributions to the projects. Was an online interview with 2 interviewers, they took turns with questions and made sure that I had a good understanding of basic Electrical knowledge.

Interview
I might the HR person who was delightful and suggested that I was over qualified for the position, which I was. I have been retired for a number of years and returned back to school for an additional engineering degree and as a possible avenue to full-time employment. The representative form the engineering department was critical and kept insisting that he was concerned about the learning curve. My response was that I was a seasoned professional and if he felt that I was could not learn the job quickly enough than the college students with about 2 years out of high school would be overwhelm. He departed and was told I would hear back by next week Wednesday and today, Thursday, left a voicemail and still awaiting a response.It may be important to note that I do require a wheelchair and the use of oxygen. At the time I only had my oxygen with me and walk into the interview without the use of the chair which I require on distanced walks. The engineering representative thought the use of a wheelchair might be a problem but the HR person quickly responded that they could accommodate the wheelchair. It's going to be interesting to see whether I get the co-op position or not.
