      Mechanical Engineer Interview

      Nov 10, 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Astranis in Oct 2021

      Interview

      The interview itself was pleasant and I enjoyed talking the the interviewers (both mechanical engineers)--an overall pleasant experience. However, I was a bit disappointed that the company appeared to have ghosted me after 2 rounds of interviews despite saying I would hear back from them 2+ weeks ago (I've followed up a couple times by now). First round of interview was over the phone that began with 10-15 min introduction/brief resume review. Next 20 min or so were technical questions. Definitely review your mechanics of solids (beams, columns, and some materials) for this portion. Questions themselves might not be exceedingly complicated but forced me to remember fundamentals I learned a couple semesters ago. Second interview was an in depth review of the resume, going over each project in detail, as well as asking what sorts of changes/improvements would you make for each project (if desired). Be prepared to backup your answer with sound reasoning. Overall, a pleasant experience and the team communicated clearly and promptly up until after the second interview, for which I haven't heard back since.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Astranis (San Francisco, CA) in May 2026

      Interview

      There was a screening with a recruiter and a technical in-depth interview with a team member. The questions ramp up in difficulty for the technical round and some curveballs on satellite questions. Interviews last 45 minutes.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Astranis in May 2026

      Interview

      They are very quick to respond. First interview was with a team member and quickly went over resume and then into technical questions. Next interview was with a team lead where they go more in depth on your resume before asking some technical questions.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Astranis (San Francisco, CA)

      Interview

      I was reached out by a recruiter to schedule a 45-minute interview with someone from the team, specifically from whichever specialty you selected in your application. The offer to do an interview came around like 1-1.5 weeks after I submitted my application. The interview is conducted through Google meets and you are asked to show your throughout process on a white board on Coderbyte.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How would you design a bracket to connect from an antenna to the satellite base? It was pretty similar to other questions that are listed here but worded and asked differently.
