Dynamics Engineer Intern Interview Experience - Hawthorne, California
Process
I was contacted through LinkedIn and screened by a recruiter.
Next, I had a phone interview with the engineering manager. He asked everything about my resume and technical concepts related to the job, such as signal processing, control theory, vibrations, and projects on my resume. If you did well in your classes, you should do fine.
I then had another phone interview with the VP of Structures. He asked a difficult, problem-solving technical question relating to the job. He wants to see your thought process using theories and practical applications.
Questions
If a satellite is attached on top of a rocket, how do you suppress the vibrations during take-off such that the electronics on the satellite won't be damaged?
