I had a couple phone screen interviews. One with HR and another with the hiring manager. After that I was flown up to Kent. Then had a panel interview with a technical presentation. Before flying up I had to write a short essay on the future of space travel. After the interviews we had lunch with the interviewing group and a facility tour.

Question 1
What do these GD&T symbols mean?
I was presented with a drawing and asked to see what difficulties there might be or things that I noticed.
Overall a good experience, recruiter was very warm and understanding. Intimidating and in-depth on specificities of personal experiences but understandably so, considering the skills and effort required to design and manufacture reusable launch vehicles.

Question 1
What's one project that you worked on where the application of GD&T had a large impact on?
Had a 1 call with a recruiter, who asked me about myself, and asked if i met the qualifications for the role. Then got ghosted for the 1:1s call, was never scheduled even after reaching out.
I applied online. I interviewed at Blue Origin (Huntsville, AL) in Mar 2026
Interview
Three back-to-back interviews with hiring managers with each being for one hour. They were hiring for two positions in their pipe shop.
Most of the questions were in STAR format and the technical questions were focused on process engineering.
