United StatesPosted Apr 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed twice, with feedback that redirected me to a different internal opportunity and then focused deeply on one of my projects.

First interview (project engineer) — a conversation-style interview that went well, but I was declined due to an emphasis mismatch (astronautics vs. aeronautics).
Referral: platform engineering intern interview — a longer follow-up where I was asked many detailed questions about a specific project I’d worked on. Outcome: No offer for the original role; the takeaway was that they made decisions around domain fit and then used project depth heavily for the alternative track.
