      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Draper (Cambridge, MA) in Apr 2026

      Interview

      Incredibly straightforward, asked about relevant experience in research and industry, talked about potential projects and fits, lots of time for questions. Projects were also described beforehand and you are matched to the one the better suits your skillset. Interviewers were very friendly and open to tangents.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Can you explain the research pipeline of your most recent project?
