Hey everyone!

I'm considering an engineering role at L3Harris at the Palm Bay, FL campus, and I’d love to get some real perspective from people who have worked there or are currently working there.

There's plenty of general company feedback out there, but I really want to hear about the positives and unique perks of working at the Palm Bay location specifically.

Any insights, tips, or experiences you can share would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!

I’m a MechE, anyone know good aerospace or defense companies to work for in Atlanta? besides the obvious ones like Lockheed, Hermeus, and Anduril.

Hi all,

I’m the Chief Engineer and Treasurer of SAE Titan Aero at California State University, Fullerton, a 12-member mechanical engineering senior design team. We design, manufacture, and fly a regular-class radio-controlled cargo aircraft for the annual SAE Aero Design competition.

Last year, our team placed 15th out of 75 teams at SAE Aero Design East, and we’re working hard to build on that achievement at this year’s SAE Aero Design West competition!

Unfortunately, recent budget cuts and new departmental spending restrictions have made it harder for our team to fund the materials, manufacturing, electronics, and travel needed to compete. We’re reaching out to the community for donations and sponsorships to help make this opportunity possible.

Any contribution, no matter the size, would make a difference.

For those interested in sponsoring us, we can offer opportunities for company logo placement on our aircraft, social media recognition, and increased visibility among the Cal State Fullerton engineering community. We’d also be happy to discuss other sponsorship opportunities that align with your organization.

If you’d like to support our team or learn more about our project, please check out the links below. You can also reach us at [csu.titan.aero@gmail.com](mailto:csu.titan.aero@gmail.com) with any questions or sponsorship inquiries.

Thank you for taking the time to read our post and for supporting student engineers. We genuinely appreciate any help in getting Titan Aero to competition!

Anyone has any feedback after interviews with harmattan ai !!!! Help anything would do btw the role is in engineering

So i saw this post today and because im really interested in space engineering i wanted to join. Has anyone ever heard of it? I did sign up for it but after some thought i wanted to check weather its legit or fake. If you know anything about it please let me know

I am a junior studying AE interviewing for some major AE intern roles, and I was wondering does doing poorly on one of these intern interviews hurt your chances of interviewing at that same company for future full time roles, lets say a couple years down the line? I recently swapped into AE so I feel like I'm playing catchup and as a little caught off guard at some of the companies wanting to interview me for summer intern roles. A lot of these companies are places I would truly like to work at post grad, so just worried doing poorly now during one of my intern interviews would affect my chances at interviewing there again.

Hey everyone,
I wanted to share my recent interview experience for a **SpaceX Integration Technician position at the Inglewood site** and get some honest feedback from people who have gone through the hiring process.
I previously interviewed for another Integration Technician opportunity (Starshield), and I recently got another opportunity to interview with SpaceX (Falcon).
Here’s how the interview went:
**Written test:** I completed a written assessment. This time, I did not have to perform a practical hands-on test.
**Oral interview:** The interviewers asked a combination of behavioral and technical questions.
**Follow-up questions:** They asked quite a few follow-up questions based on my answers, and they were writing down my responses.
**Integrity question:** One recruiter asked me what integrity means. I explained that it means being honest and telling the truth. I also connected it to integration technician work, explaining how the job involves bringing parts, components, subassemblies, and assemblies together.
**Overall experience:** The interview felt easier than my previous one, and I felt more comfortable answering the questions.
At the end, a recruiter told me to keep checking my email because I should hear something from them early next week.
I have more than 20 years of hands-on mechanical experience, including automotive troubleshooting and repair, and I’m currently pursuing my aviation maintenance career.
**For those familiar with SpaceX hiring:**
What do you make of interviewers asking multiple follow-up questions and writing down the answers?
Is it normal to have a written assessment and behavioral interview without a practical test?
Does being told to expect an update early the following week sound like a standard timeline?
For anyone who has interviewed for an Integration Technician role at SpaceX, what happened after your interview?
I know nothing is guaranteed until I receive an official update. I’m just interested in hearing from people who have been through the process.
Thanks in advance, everyone! 🚀

Currently a PC at Honeywell and curious to hear how is it working at other defense companies? How busy are you and do you have a hybrid schedule?

I’ve been interviewing with SpaceX for a Spring 2027 internship, and I’m trying to understand what this recruiter email means.
Here’s the timeline:

I initially interviewed for a Starlink role in Bastrop. I had two interviews, including one with a lead engineer.

Between those two interviews, I also was interviewed with a Senior Engineer from another team also in Bastrop. During that conversation, he seemed interested in recruiting me to his team and mentioned that he was trying to poach me from the first team and describe the work to see if it was a fit for me. I just mentioned that if the first team falls through, I’d be happy to continue the process with his team, which he agreed to.

I then continued interviewing for a the first team position, including the final interview with a Lead Engineer.

My most recent interview was about 45 minutes and was fairly technical and scenario-based. I was able to work through most of the questions, although I got stuck on a couple and needed some hints. The interviewer helped me reason through them, seemed engaged, and the conversation ran about eight minutes over the scheduled time.

A week later, the recruiter emailed me saying that the first team would not be moving forward with my candidacy. However, the recruiter also said that the second team would like to proceed with my candidacy for Spring 2027. The email specifically stated that no additional information or interview was needed from me “at this time” and that the recruiter would reach out when there was an update.

So, while I was rejected by the first team, the second team—which I had already interviewed with—is apparently still interested in moving forward.

I’m trying to figure out what this actually means:
1. Does “the team would like to proceed with your candidacy” typically mean the team has decided it wants to hire you and is working toward an offer?
2. Does saying no additional interview or information is needed “at this time” suggest I’ve completed the interview process, or could there still be more interviews or internal approvals?
3. Since I already spoke with a Senior Engineer from the second team who seemed to be actively recruiting me, is that a stronger positive sign than simply having my application transferred to another team?

Don't know if this is the right place for this question, but here goes. (I'm a wannabe author, and am working on an exciting book of fiction that will involve aviation.)

If pilots landing planes at a specific airport start experiencing and reporting GPS jamming, what will the consequences be for the jammer? Who looks into this sort of thing, the NTSB? How many days will it take before they can locate and apprehend the culprit?

I'm proposing that the jammer is technically competent and has no financial limitations, so he can build a jamming system involving a steerable parabolic antenna that follows the plane as it makes its approach. If necessary, I can even claim that he mounts his jamming system in the back of a pickup truck and performs his jamming while on the move. (Unrealistic? Never mind, it's fiction, although I'd like to keep things somewhat realistic.)

Incidentally, the culprit is not trying to crash the planes, he's just trying to push the targeted airline into buying and installing an upgraded GPS receiver avionics box. And it works! For each plane with the new GPS box installed, no GPS jamming occurs - because the nasty bad guy stops jamming those planes!

Thanks for any feedback, or even for suggestions as to where I should post this question.

Edit:

Thanks for all the answers. But I'm proposing that the bad guy is specifically targeting the incoming airplane using a parabolic antenna. That should mean that the jamming radio-frequency energy is in a narrow beam up into the sky.

So I'm assuming this means that all the suggestions that the jammer will be easy to find via directional receivers on the ground are not viable. I'm assuming that there won't be any "leakage" of radio waves in any direction other than the focused beam up into the sky. (Is this a valid assumption?)

Thanks again for the answers, and I'm hoping this info makes the situation clearer.

Hi all, I have my final interview at (3rd round) coming up at SpaceX. It going to be a 5 hour session. Other than the 45 min presentation and the several one on ones, I don’t know what to expect. Has anyone gone through this before? How can I prepare more? Also what percentage of people make it this far? Do I have good chances being that I’ve made it this far?

This is for an entry level engineering position. I thought I bombed the 2nd interview but they decided they wanted to move forward so here I am. I am also waiting to hear back for them to schedule it. But I am confirmed to be moving forward.

Hey! We've been working since last year on a In Control: Rocketry, a spaceflight sim where you build the rocket and wire up its control panel yourself. Sensors, inputs, outputs, the whole thing is Turing-complete, so however you want to solve a flight problem, there's a way to do it. It will be available on Steam in 2027.

Real orbital mechanics, a fictional solar system to explore, sandbox mode if you just want to mess around and blow things up!

Feel free to add the game to your wishlist if you want to support the project! See you in space.

Hi everyone!

I have an interview for Northrop Grumman’s Associate Electrical Engineer Pathways Program in Baltimore, MD, and I’m hoping to get some last-minute advice from anyone who’s interviewed for this program or a similar entry-level engineering position at Northrop. Specifically insight into potential technical questions.

Thanks in advance! I’d really appreciate any insight!

Hello Everyone, i am a student at Politecnico di Torino, Italy, and i am need a help to choose my MSc Thesis topic. I'm most interested in flight mechanics and dynamics, air law, and fluidodynamics. Apart from aerospace my greatest passion is motorsport, if that can help. Can someone help me?

Hey everyone!
I have an upcoming phone interview with the hiring managers at SpaceX for the Test Specialist (Composite) position, and I’m hoping to get some insights from anyone who has worked in this role or gone through a similar interview.
I will especially appreciate advice from current or former SpaceX employees who understand the composite manufacturing, testing, and inspection environment.
A few things I’d love to learn about:
1.What should I expect during a phone interview with the hiring managers?
2.How technical does the conversation get?
3.Should I prepare for detailed questions about composite materials, testing procedures, and inspection methods?
4.What tools, equipment, and testing procedures?

Thanks in advance.

If we were to send up a new interstellar item designed to convey information about humankind, what aerospace developments have been made in the last 50 years that would change how much/what types of data we could store on it?

I am currently a sophomore, and I am applying to a big scholarship soon, and want to ensure that my resume is as good as possible. Any advice is greatly appreciated! I am struggling to keep it one page though, so keep that in mind when making suggestions!
