Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 3 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Astranis (San Francisco, CA) nel mese di ott 2024
Colloquio
Process took 3 weeks. First interview was a technical interview with team member (lots of bending beams, vibrational frequency, and other statics questions). Second interview was with team lead going through resume experience and rest technical. Didn’t make it to third interview as they said I was “too young” and required more schooling to learn “fundamentals”
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
How do you design a fixture that would experimentally calculate the center of gravity of a spacecraft component.
Casual interview with one mech engineer from the team. Easy to schedule a time and had a good conversation. Started as normal with some info about the company and then immediately to technical questions for the next 30 or so minutes.

Domanda 1
Technical interview, questions about vibration and preventing resonance. Also, about mounting an antenna to a satellite and design decisions.

Colloquio
Lots of questions on cantilevers, natural frequency and bracket design. They want you to derive the equations and build a bracket yourself during the interview which is hard with the whiteboard and in 3D

Domanda 1
How to reduce natural frequency in beam and increase second moment of inertia
White board questions to test mechanical engineering fundamentals, I would recommend brushing up on first principles, deflection, natural frequencies and materials. Be prepared to talk through your design and back it up, know the endurance limit and how to design for a infitie fatigue life.
