Where would you place radars on the ship to maximize sensing coverage? What's the difference between this ship-based system and their standard ground-based products? What difficulties do you foresee with those differences? What sort of radars would you use? Would you use something different from the freestanding ones?

"A recruiter found me on LinkedIn, then I had a recruiter screen, a surprisingly early screen with a skip-level manager in the air defense org, and then a four-part panel. The panel was one domain-heavy system design plus three behavioral TPM-style interviews on execution, ownership, deliverables, decision-making, and alignment. The hardest part by far was the technical/system design round because it was built around designing radar coverage for a moving ship, and even though they said they knew I didn't come from that industry, the actual expectations still felt pretty domain specific. Everyone I talked to was very professional and genuinely into the work, and even the skip-level person was unusually involved in the details. I didn't get the role because they wanted someone a little more senior for that L6 spot."
