Choose the right perspective

Look for candidates who have owned decisions about hardware selection, software architecture, or ground operations. Ask them to describe a specific constraint they hit and how it changed what they built or how they operated the system.

Questions to take into the conversation

  1. 01Tell me about a time when a technical constraint forced you to choose between faster delivery, higher reliability, or lower operating cost. What did you choose and why?
  2. 02Which satellite subsystem or component caused the most unexpected problems after launch, and what would you do differently?
  3. 03How did you measure whether a design choice actually reduced operating costs over the satellite's lifetime?
