Process
I applied online.
After a phone screen, a video call interview was scheduled with a panel of engineers. In my case, the questions mostly flowed based on how I answered:
- Pressure change from the fuel tank, through the feedline, turbopump, combustion chamber, and nozzle
- Where in the engine will you see peak pressure and temperature?
- How does a centrifugal pump function?
Questions
How does pressure change from the fuel tank, through the feedline, turbopump, combustion chamber, and nozzle?
