      Propulsion Engineer Interview

      20 Oct 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX in May 2022

      Interview

      Recruiter called me to ask what I was interested in, then she said she would set me up with a technical interview with the propulsion lead. Call with the prop lead was about 30 min and incredibly hard. Granted, this was my first-ever technical interview and I did not know what to expect. He asked me about my experiences, and would ask questions to bring me more and more in depth. Questions were about thermo/fluid dynamics as well as structural mechanics

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      A uniformly heated pipe is connected to walls on either side of the length. What failure mode(s) should you expect and where?
