I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Blue Origin (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2018
Interview
There was an initial phone screening where they gauged my interest and asked about my knowledge of Blue and the space industry. Days later there was a phone interview where I was asked typical "Why Blue" questions as well as others about my design process and design considerations for a specific application
15 min phone interview with HR rep, 45 min technical phone call with hiring manager, panel interview with presentation with team about yourself and past projects. Seemed like a laidback type of interview with the first two phone calls. Simple Q/A.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Step 1) HR: Standard HR type of questions, non-technical. Step 2) Technical: Asked questions about past experience from resume- why and how. What is a profile tolerance and when would you apply it to a component? When would you conduct an FEA study and how would you set it up?
The interview process was rigorous. It consisted of a one hour presentation where I discussed my background and experience highlighting skillset, experience and accomplishments. The one hour presentation was followed by four 30 minute one-on-one interviews with each panelist. Questions ranged from highly technical to soft-skills topics.
