I applied online. I interviewed at Astranis (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2020
Interview
Two Interviews: first was Mechanics of Materials basics and questions scaled in difficulty that build off of previous ones. Second was an in-depth resume review where they grill you on past experiences, your specific contributions, and justifying your design decisions.
