This was a single interview. Some discussion on resume projects but not too detailed of follow up questions, just general follow ups. Technical questions ranged from very easy to moderately difficult. There were some practical engineering problems and some creative questions.

Question 1
Who is a hero of yours and why do you look up to them?
Recruiter reached out to set up a presentation about myself and projects I’ve worked on. After not hearing back a few weeks after providing interview availability I reached out again and the recruiter asked for further availability and just did not respond anymore. Very unprofessional and frustrating process.
I enjoyed the interview process and liked how they had us do a presentation as well as ask us technical questions. They also gave us enough time to ask questions to them.

Question 1
Why Blue Origin? What was a time where you had to pivot in a project or a previous job/experience and how did you adapt?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Blue Origin in Oct 2025
Interview
One interview that involved creating a presentation on a project I did for a panel, followed by a mix of behavioral and technical questions. None of the technical questions were too bad in that they were hard to answer, but you definitely could have a bad answer to a question. Second interview consisted of a 1 on 1 phone call with a person on a specialized team to see if I'd be a good fit.
