General Dynamics Mission Systems Systems Engineer interview experience

It was mostly behavioral, but it also pulled in specific technical areas tied to the work—especially whether I had experience with MATLAB and Python. They asked if I had ever used SDRs, where I used them, and to explain why I used them.

What made it feel easy was that the technical questions were grounded in practical experience and explanations, not abstract trick questions. Once I walked through what I’d done and why it mattered, the rest of the conversation stayed focused on fit and understanding how I’d plug into the team’s kind of work.
