Landed an interview at a dream job but they are obviously asking for someone who can shit gold and do everything from analog/digital conversion / amplification, sensor fusion w complex Kalman and other DSP related items along with a laundry list of stuff like "field work" and "system design" for a junior to intermediate salary range. 60-80k CAD. (No actual experience range posted)

I am quite frankly begging you guys to share your experience on how to present your skillset in a way where I can explain that I have a great on the job learning altitude and you cunts are basically looking for a junior dev anyway. I had a co-op with my current company but it was a total nothingburger which is usually where all the "junior" farming happens at real firms.

I have embedded system design architecture experience and implementation experience through my current work (very surface level, minimal viable product test rigs, may as well be vibe coded) and technical club / research with faculty during undergrad but obviously none of it was serious industry development for mining applications. It's a small company so I hope they would want to invest in me but at the same time I'm utterly skeptical because of the current market.

Any input is welcome, even if you want to call me a retard for not getting an EE degree and trying to get a serious job in embedded development as a physics grad. Should I just lie and blitzkrieg them with an embellished portfolio of my work to land the job and then bust my ass or try to present myself as an investment and set more realistic expectations to ease the learning curve? I'm literally willing to take a pay cut to work there because I'm not learning the type of shit these guys do at all / totally atrophied as a recent grad.
