Avionics Mechanical Engineer Interview Experience

Process

A recruiter reached out to me for an initial phone call.

The first phone call was to learn more about the company and ask my own questions. I did not have time on this call to talk about my background at all.

After the initial phone call, I spoke with the engineering manager for a technical interview. The technical interview was challenging as I did not know what to prepare. After the chat, the interviewer rushed me off the phone, stating they had other tasks to attend to (almost as if the interview wasn't important).

I received an email later that day stating that they would not be continuing the hiring process with me. I've asked for feedback from both the recruiter and engineering manager, but have yet to receive any.

Questions

If you had to create a test setup, both on the test bench and in space, that could dissipate heat from an antenna, how would you do it?

If you have an antenna that will be tested on a shaker, what would you need to know in order to perform preliminary hand calculations to determine the maximum deflection expected?
