Process
I had three interviews in five days, all on the phone. Afterwards, there was nothing at all. Not even an email informing me if I was still being considered.
When I sent an email to HR, I received an automatic reply stating that she no longer works for SpaceX. Such a weird situation. Disappointed.
Questions
There is an electronic device, radiating heat, as payload to be sent to space. What would be the design considerations for its casing?
