I applied online. The process took 8 weeks.

I don't think Hermeus even knew what they wanted. I think they keep everything up in the air and vague as a way to protect the company. I don't even know what job title I applied for since the job posting only said "Propulsion Team Member". I applied because the company website said they were interviewing people with X skills/expertise. After applying, I was contacted to discuss the job opportunity with a talent scout. The job posting was super vague, and the scout was unable to provide ANY job details. I asked:

• What an employee with X skills/expertise might work on at Hermeus.
• Why are they looking for these skills?
• What would a typical day look like?
• What is an example of a typical job duty/responsibility?

The only response I received was that everyone does a little of everything. 8 weeks later I received a vague email (rejection letter?) explaining how they currently don't have a role that is an ideal match for me.

Tell me about a time when you completely owned the entire design, build, test, etc. cycle of hardware?

Describe a time when you worked in a team. What kind of challenges did you face? What was your role in the project?
