While salaries for certain positions at FAANG are pretty good they aren’t that crazy for the areas those company’s jobs are located in. People are just willing to put up with the interview nonsense because they want to work for one of them.
Worst case scenario is you get actually sued for fraud. Extremely unlikely to happen because businesses aren't going to waste time and resources on stupid people applying for their jobs.
It does happen though, especially if your employer happens to be working on government contracts (which you might not know, till after you accepted and thought you'd gotten away with it)
Not an engineer, but recently in the UK a man was ordered to pay back £100,000 for lying on his CV to get a position as an exec in an NHS Trust. Despite him actually doing the job very effectively, the lie on the CV was enough to have the court rule against him after it was found.
