Very smooth and nice really appreciated the process, the team is here to help. I didn't get until the end of the process although I was really into the company.
The PhysicsX data scientist interviews included recruiter screening, technical assessment coding statistics machine learning, case study or take home task, technical deep dive with scientists, and culture/values interview emphasizing physics informed modeling solving.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you build a machine learning model that respects known physical laws (e.g., conservation laws) when predicting outcomes from engineering simulation data?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PhysicsX (London, England) in Nov 2025
Interview
HR call (30 mins) -> Hackerrank test -> Technical skills interview (30 mins). That’s where it ended for me; skills didn’t align enough with role requirements sadly.
Tom from HR does a really fantastic job in communicating every aspect of the recruitment process. Additionally provided feedback straight away which is immensely helpful.

Hackerrank test. Questions fairly easy but need to work quickly.
