I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Blue Origin in Aug 2021
Interview
Applied online, had 45 minute virtual interview with mix of technical questions and fun questions to assess passion. One HR rep and one engineer, so 2 on 1. Difficult questions and you had a hard time assessing how you performed.

Question 1
Rank the lift to drag ratio of the space shuttle, a capsule on reentry, and a Boeing 747. How would you design a 100 foot tall flag pole and minimize weight? Describe the relationship between stress and strain. If you had 8 hours on the Moon, how would you spend that time?
HR phone screen then hiring manager interviewer. He didn't seem to be interested in interviewing me. They just wanted to get it over with. Interview started out by the manager saying he must ask these questions because HR told him to.

Interview
Initial 30min Recruiter Screening that asked mostly motivation for working at Blue Origin and what technical skills you bring that match the Job Description. During the same meeting, I was told I'd be going forward to the panel interview.
My panel was 5 1-on-1 45 min sessions. Very big mixture of behavioral and technical questions depending on who you're interviewing with.
The interview process was smooth and easy to organize. Everything was set up efficiently and completed within a few weeks. There was a panel interview with several experts on the team. Overall, I had a great experience.
