Rocket Lab Software Engineer interview: technical-project presentation

A recruiter scheduled the interview, which began with a presentation about my strongest technical project. The rest was a conventional mix of technical and behavioral conversations about my engineering experience.

The process seemed designed to connect what I had built with how I solve day-to-day problems. There were no extreme gotchas, just steady evaluation of my technical approach and team fit. I did not receive an offer, but the bar felt like a clear, realistic engineering standard rather than a trick interview.

Location: Long Beach, CA. Overall feedback: positive. Offer status: no offer.
