Interview
Technical interview loop, where you meet with multiple engineers, managers, and then finally ending with bar-raiser interview with senior leadership. Lots of 'what if' scenarios and very through knowledge check of the fundamentals of Systems Engineering & Space Vehicle design. Overall very challenging but great to get to work with a team with deep technical knowledge and strong engineering fundamentals.
