Recruiter screen with basic questions about engineering and background
Manager screen with technical questions rooted in specific problems faced in the role as well as technical background
On site screen with multiple engineers from both the team and customer teams. Onsite screens emphasize your conceptual problem solving with some additional questions about technical depth.
Wait for a return call or email.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you have an aerodynamic load on a major structure, such as a wing, how do you recreate those loads in a test environment.
Very relaxed interview. Two different phone interviews, one with a hiring manager and the other with the team manager. This led to an on site team interview with the test team manager, a chemist, and a hardware integration engineer. Overall, very nice people.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Anduril (Costa Mesa, CA) in Apr 2026
Interview
1st: Phone screen with HR (asking about your background and some engineering question). 2nd Zoom meeting with hiring manager (fundamental electrical engineering questions and why you want to work for Anduril). 3rd On-site interview with the teams (engineering questions) .
Received some semi-technical questions during initial phone screen (strain gage, Ohm's law, bending beams) that were slightly surprising, especially if you haven't worked with any of the concepts since school.
