      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Virgin Galactic in Mar 2022

      Interview

      HR screen, tech interview and finally panel with 5 engineers total. No presentation required. The overall experience is good. There were a lot of first principle questions follows with some design scenario questions. VG engineer team is more focusing on what you will become in the future then what you already know. It is OK to not fully aligned with the job description but you need to show that you are good at acquiring new skills and knowledge.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      NDA signed so I am not gonna talk about it. On suggestion though. Be familiar with the fundamentals. Space is still a forbidden land for mankind so what can help you the most when design spaceship is a deep understanding of first principle.
