General Atomics Software Engineer interview experience

Denver, COPosted Jan 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I ran into interviews where the technical bar skewed toward domain fundamentals rather than pure software problem-solving.

General background + EE technical — a 30-minute call focusing on EE-related fundamentals like electromagnetics topics and circuits.
Recruiter + team leads — a round with two team leads covering how my prior work applied to specific problems.
Domain-focused technical depth — the process could be intense at the final stage, with a broad and difficult technical grilling. Outcome: No offer; the takeaway was that domain fundamentals and how you apply them mattered a lot.
