Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Astranis (San Francisco, CA).
Entrevista
Lots of questions on cantilevers, natural frequency and bracket design. They want you to derive the equations and build a bracket yourself during the interview which is hard with the whiteboard and in 3D

Pergunta 1
How to reduce natural frequency in beam and increase second moment of inertia
Casual interview with one mech engineer from the team. Easy to schedule a time and had a good conversation. Started as normal with some info about the company and then immediately to technical questions for the next 30 or so minutes.

Technical interview, questions about vibration and preventing resonance. Also, about mounting an antenna to a satellite and design decisions.
White board questions to test mechanical engineering fundamentals, I would recommend brushing up on first principles, deflection, natural frequencies and materials. Be prepared to talk through your design and back it up, know the endurance limit and how to design for a infitie fatigue life.
