I applied online. I interviewed at Skydio (San Mateo, CA) in May 2026
Interview
The recruiter was unprofessional. I applied online and spoke with recruiter throughout our call she was not at all interested in speaking or giving me any information about the company she ghosted me after that . I only applied because their product is Awesome and my background aligned very well but recruited killed my vibe that explained how the culture might be. She did not address me even by my name just disinterested. I dont recommend applying as they dont care about peoples time and recruiters as first line in the hiring process should be better and as resource to candidates
The process started with a recruiter phone screen followed by two projected technical rounds. The interview process was very straightfoward and consisted mainly of resume questions and a few circuit analysis problems.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me to draw the output waveform for a circuit at a certain point given an input waveform.
One round with recruiter, then hiring manager, onsite loop with presentation. Really thorough and they make sure you know everything before moving on to the next step. Pretty fast updates
