Pretty difficult but a good challenge. Definitely went in depth into my technical knowledge of spacecraft operations. I would recommend people to study their best projects as well as go over any skill sets that they see best before the interview
Technical Discussion on Prior Jobs. It was a straightforward process where there was a meeting and there could be multiple people listening in (possibly providing advice at times). If you aren't a good fit, you may be recommended to another team.
Phone Call with the team, three interviews then they decide on giving you an offer or not. It wasn’t too hard. It was casual at first and they asked me what a couple acryms were.

Question 1
If we are out of space and need to add a production line in, what do we do?
Had a great call with a nice talent acquisition person. They said I'd have two 30-min technical calls, followed by an on-site presentation and skill assessment.
First call was introductory but they still look for a lot of passion in their products and mission.
