Likely interview questions
- Walk us through a spacecraft or flight hardware mechanical design you led from concept to test—what were the key design drivers and how did you balance performance, manufacturability, and schedule?
- Describe your experience with structural analysis and FEA. What types of analyses have you performed (stress, dynamics, vibration), and how have you used results to inform design decisions?
