Had a phone interview with the Senior Manager which was a general discussion about my background and past experience. No specific technical questions. The phone interview went well and i was invited in for a face-to-face interview. During the face-to-face interview I learned that the company had no in-house electrical engineering expertise at all ---- the electrical engineer that was on staff had recently resigned. The company was interviewing to find an electrical engineer who could lead the electronics design efforts for the company (in a hands-on role, not as a manager) and work to extract a lot of excess cost in their products. As someone with over 30 years of electronics engineering experience in many different disciplines I stated that I was very confident that I could provide great value to the company in this capacity. I met with about four other engineers (mechanical, software, and two systems engineers), and I was asked absolutely no technical questions --- since there were no other electrical engineers in the company, nobody really had the knowledge to ask me anything technical. There did appear to be some concern with EMC and that their products had some problems with EMC. I was asked if I had any experience in troubleshooting EMC problems --- I have very extensive experience in this area and described numerous techniques that I use for this kind of work, as well as describing several challenging projects I have worked on solving EMC issues. I also had a video meeting with their in-house recruiter, who told me that he would personally get back to me within three or four days with "yes-or-no" decision. In actuality, I had absolutely no feedback from them for over two weeks. I finally was able to get the contract recruiter who presented my resume to them to give me some feedback ---- she told me that "The Senior Manager felt that you were very sharp technically, but is worried that I would not be a 'cultural fit' and may be 'over-skilled' ." In other words ---- "You are too old, and too expensive". The contract recruiter told me that the company wants to focus on hiring an engineer with between five and seven years of experience. O-kay...... they want a single electrical engineer to take charge of all the electronics in their products and drive down cost while making the product more capable and more efficient, but they only want to pay for an engineer with at most seven years experience out of college? Good luck with that search.
