      Loads & Dynamics Engineer Interview

      10 Jan 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Los Angeles, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Blue Origin (Los Angeles, CA) in May 2024

      Interview

      0) Round 0 - Passing Application Tracking System (ATS) and Get noticed by the Recruiter: Given that I was referred through one of my friends, who was working there at the time of referral, I skipped this round. 1) Round 1 - Phone Screening: with a recruiter who was mostly concentrated on the oral communication and behavioral aspects and was analyzing the first impression behavior. 2) Round 2 - Technical Phone Interview: I talked to the hiring manager (HM), although the job description needed someone to do structural and vibration aspect of the project; however, they also needed someone for coding, automation, and developing or updating their custom made program/software. So, I was initially supposed to join their group for these type of responsibilities, therefore the questions were relevant to this topic including the parallelization and multi threading, pointer overflow, smart pointers, etc. that I answered them all. 3) Round 3 - Panel Interview: The panel included 5 people, 3 technical, 1 behavioral, and the HM. That friend of mine who referred me was supposed to be part of the panel as the fourth person I interview before the HM, but two days before my panel interview she left her job to start a managerial position in another company. At the last minute, the technical manager (an old guy with 30+ years of experience) replaced her. The level of education of all the panel was MS and PhD. At first I had to do a presentation of whatever project that I had done during my studies and work till then. Afterwards, I met with each panel member for 30 minutes with an hour break in between. First and second interviews were technical, then the behavioral, and then two other technical.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Technical Person 1 - Asked some static problem by showing a truss to solve the reaction forces, and some other basic dynamics and then behavioral questions. Technical Person 2 - How does the accelerometer measure the acceleration from electrical point of view? A few questions about the response of the accelerometer, what is the equation of wave in classical mechanics, how do we measure and model the vibrations, etc. that I answered them all. Behavioral Person - Asked about how I deal with bad behavior from coworkers and how would I react to it, etc. Technical Person 3 (Technical Manager): * When and in what applications do we use 3D shell elements? * Why do you want to do this work, given that what we do is very easy for you, and you might get board? * Your background is not close to what we do, if I give you the chance how long will it take you to catch up? * Can you give me a timeline about how long it will take you to get there? Technical Person 4 (HM): * What are the parameters to identify a wave? * What is the equivalent strength of a system of springs? * What is the unit of damping in the equation of motion and show how you derive it? * What is the Coulomb damping? and a few more basic.
