      Senior Combustion Devices Test Engineer Interview

      31 Aug 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Long Beach, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Relativity Space (Long Beach, CA) in Aug 2024

      Interview

      Pretty standard interview process of 30min phone screen with basic technical questions on fluid flow and thermo. Then after 3 days or so, they got back to me to schedule a 45min zoom technical interview with 2 senior engineers. About half behavioral and half technical questions. The interviewers were all very nice people that were clearly passionate about what they do, and they were very friendly during the interview. However the interview seemed disconnected from the role I actually applied to, like I was being interviewed for a different role or something. It was strange. I feel like I hit the stated qualifications pretty well, and answered their questions pretty well, but I got a rejection email 3 days afterward from a person I had never met or spoken with. I guess with hiring freezes and layoffs in other companies they can afford to be very selective in their hiring.  Honestly, good on Relativity though for actually getting back to people with a solid yes/no answer.

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      1. Look at this diagram of a rocket engine. At each major point, describe the pressure in the system
      Answer question

      Question 2

      2. Look at this diagram of a simple rocket system. Plot what happens to the system's pressure at various points vs time.
      Answer question

      Question 3

      3. Look at this diagram of a system. Tell me how you would determine if there is a fuel leak across this valve, and if the test should be stopped because of it.
