Structures Interview Experience

Process

Submitted a resume and cover letter through a contact at SpaceX.

Was called by a recruiter to schedule a phone interview for a week later.

The person interviewing me called 30 minutes late, but was somewhat apologetic.

Pretty basic technical questions followed by "tell me about your resume" questions.

Overall, a pretty OK experience.

Questions

You are in a canoe in a kiddie pool. You mark the water level on the side. You have a rock in the canoe. You throw it overboard, and it sinks to the bottom. What happens to the water level?

You have a beam attached to a wall by a weld. Where will it break?

If you know what forces will be exerted on the beam, what information do you need to determine if the beam will fail?
