      HITL Engineer II Interview

      May 29, 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Rocket Lab in May 2024

      Interview

      Straightforward, reasonable, and transparent - screening questions w/ recruiter, then virtual interview w/ HITL manager from NZ, then onsite interview in Long Beach with some remote members from NZ, as well as senior-level engineers from flight software, and facility tour following. Questions spanned evaluation of problem-solving ability from past issues I've faced, as well as capability I could provide to their ground simulation functions, and how I would make sense of their current situation to thrive in their environment.

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      How would you set up a configuration management scheme that isolates the configuration of the test/flight hardware from the team performing the V&V?
      Answer question

      Question 2

      How would you decide when to opt for an FPGA over something like a microcontroller? Why would an FPGA be an attractive choice?
      Answer question

      Question 3

      What is the OSI network model, and what is the difference between OSI and TCP/IP?
