Relativity Space Software Engineer interview experience

Instead of staying at a generic resume level, the discussion pulled me toward how I’d reason through real engineering work. I was asked about software I had used and then pressed to go further—specifically, how I would analyze and test a thermal system in the context of a rocket.

That shift set the tone for the overall difficulty. The next technical round felt like a serious concept check paired with practical engineering knowledge. I spent time thinking through advanced fundamentals, and it was clear the interviewer expected familiarity with topics like FEA and statics, plus the ability to
