I applied for the role on LinkedIn. The position was for consumer hardware for Starlink.

The SpaceX recruiter contacted me via email and scheduled a 30-minute call.

During the call, I was asked about my past experience, why I wanted to work for SpaceX, and other technical questions.

The interview felt easy, and the recruiter had a "bro" kind of attitude, which made it feel very informal. All questions were over the phone.

1. What does a stress-strain curve tell us?

2. You have two parallel plates fastened together by a bolt threaded to the second plate. What failure mode is likely to occur if there is a load on the plates? How can you reinforce the strength of this mechanical system?
