I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Firefly Aerospace (Cedar Park, TX)
Interview
The first interview was a recruiter screening with mostly behavioural questions. The second interview was an interview with an engineering manager, this time, a mixture of behavioural and technical questions. The manager was very nice and asked questions about my specific experiences. The third interview was a technical interview with a lead engineer. Questions were specific and relatively difficult, but the interviewer was helpful in leading me along. I was told there would be one more interview after the 3rd round, but I was ghosted.
I applied online. I interviewed at Firefly Aerospace (Cedar Park, TX) in Apr 2024
Interview
A couple remote interviews, very technical. Then I was flown on-site for an extensive, 4-5 hour tour + technical presentation. Along with the technical presentation, I was shown a couple current issues in their design that they were troubleshooting and was asked for my input. Highly technical, but very friendly.
