I interviewed at Relativity Space (Stennis Space Center, MS)
Interview
I had an email describing the role, and then a one-on-one Teams meeting with a whiteboard, where I went deep into my projects and answered technical problems related to solid mechanics, fluids, or thermodynamics.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain the thermodynamic process of evaporating a full glass of water on a stove.
I applied online. I interviewed at Relativity Space (Stennis Space Center, MS) in May 2026
Interview
1 on 1 interview with a lead engineer. Asked in technical depth about projects. Asked to choose two subjects from solids, fluids, thermo, heat transfer to be asked questions on. Be ready to defend your answers with equations and answer why you decided to answer that why.

Question 1
A large basin is filled with water. It leads down to a sealed container. How high will the water in the container get? Another variation where the height difference between the two containers gets smaller. And then another variation where the container volume gets halved.

Interview
Asked me to talk about any one of my technical projects on my resume and then asked difficult follow up questions about it. You need to have all your basic physics down pat, because I forgot some of the basics and it made the interview very difficult. They also asked two technical questions unrelated to the project.

Question 1
How can I found out how long it will take for an entire pot of water to boil?
