Entretien
I was contacted by a recruiter and had a 30-minute phone call to get an idea for which group I would fit best. About a week later, I had a 30-minute phone interview with the lead engineer for the group I would be working with. He asked about my resume, then asked a few technical engineering questions, and then let me ask questions and told me about the job. After a few days, they set up a second interview with another engineer on that team. It was also about 30 minutes, but he jumped right into technical questions to gauge my engineering knowledge. There was a little bit of time at the end for questions. A little under a week later, I got a call from the original recruiter offering me the position.

The interview process is a tiered process. Three phone interviews before an on-site interview with multiple engineers. Be prepared for technical questions, including orbital dynamics, attitude control, etc. The on-site interview begins with a tour through their facilities. Try to remember some details to regurgitate during the interviews.
