Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 2 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Relativity Space nel mese di set 2025
Colloquio
Applied online and got an email for an interview a couple of days later. When I joined the interview session via Teams, it went straight to the questions, not even a “how are you doing” kind of thing. The whole experience felt very rushed, like I was talking to a robot. It was clear that the interviewer did not read my résumé at all and only cared about the technical questions. The technical questions were quite difficult—studying the basics was not enough. Overall, it was a really negative experience. I would have liked to talk about some of my experience and why I think I’m a good candidate, rather than just solve absurd technical problems. Not conversational at all.
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
There is a sealed bucket with water and air inside of it. How does the air pressure change as water leaves the bucket? How does temperature change? Show using thermo. What if the system is insulated?

Colloquio
I had an email describing the role, and then a one-on-one Teams meeting with a whiteboard, where I went deep into my projects and answered technical problems related to solid mechanics, fluids, or thermodynamics.

Colloquio
1 on 1 interview with a lead engineer. Asked in technical depth about projects. Asked to choose two subjects from solids, fluids, thermo, heat transfer to be asked questions on. Be ready to defend your answers with equations and answer why you decided to answer that why.

Domanda 1
A large basin is filled with water. It leads down to a sealed container. How high will the water in the container get? Another variation where the height difference between the two containers gets smaller. And then another variation where the container volume gets halved.

Colloquio
very technical interview. I do think it was fair, but I was not expecting the questions to be as fundamental as they were. you really gotta be up on your basic equations.

Domanda 1
what determines the shape of the temperature profile across the thickness of a wall with given temperature differences?
