I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Terran Orbital (Irvine, CA)
Interview
Phone call with recruiter then tech screen and then onsite with a bunch of members of the team. On site was approximately 3 hours and alot about my experience to probe into where I could fit. Fairly straightforward and occurred within about 2 weeks
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General systems engineering questions (how would I approach a conflict in requirements) and my experience
general satellite subsystem knowledge is needed
The interview process was 4 total rounds (1 recruiter, 1 hiring manager, 1 team member, then a final on-site panel interview with 4 rounds). Overall the questions were pretty straightforward regarding systems engineering. I would not say it’s a process you could prepare for super well more so a “you know it or you don’t”. They expect a quick response turnaround upon an offer….so be ready to accept or reject.

Question 1
What are the general subsystems that make up a spacecraft and what is your favorite/least favorite?
Easy screening by recruiter followed by a technical manager interview.
Warning, they WILL ghost you. I am the third person I know to interview at this company in the last few months and we all got ghosted.

Have you had to physically work with modules and assemble them or disassemble them and debug them?
