Likely interview questions for this role
Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.
About your past
Tell me about a class project or personal project where you worked with a messy or incomplete dataset. What did you do to get it usable?
What they are checking: whether the candidate has hands-on exposure to real data cleaning rather than only working with tidy classroom datasets
Describe a time you had to learn a new tool or technique quickly to finish a project. How did you approach it?
What they are checking: self-directed learning ability, since interns are expected to ramp up fast with limited guidance
Tell me about a group project that didn't go smoothly. What was the friction and what did you do about it?
What they are checking: teamwork and conflict-handling skills in a collaborative, mentor-guided environment
What interests you about aerospace specifically, versus just data work at any company?
What they are checking: genuine motivation and fit with Boeing's industry versus a generic internship application
Tell me about a time you presented findings or results to a group. What was hard about it and what would you do differently now?
What they are checking: communication maturity and self-reflection, since presenting to leadership is part of the program
What would you do
Walk me through how you would explain a statistical concept, like a correlation you found, to someone who has no data background.
What they are checking: ability to translate technical findings for non-technical stakeholders, since interns present to leaders and mentors
Say you're given a large dataset and a vague question from your mentor like 'find out why this metric dropped.' What's your first move?
What they are checking: structured problem-solving instincts and comfort with ambiguity, which is common in internship project scoping
If your analysis showed a result that contradicted what your team expected or hoped to see, what would you do?
What they are checking: intellectual honesty and willingness to report inconvenient findings rather than shape data to expectations
How would you prioritize your time if you were given two overlapping deadlines from your mentor and another team member during the internship?
What they are checking: time management and communication when juggling competing asks in a short 10-12 week window
About the work
What tools have you used for data analysis, like SQL, Python, R, or Tableau, and can you describe a specific thing you built with one of them?
What they are checking: whether their toolkit claims are backed by concrete, describable work rather than course exposure alone
Can you explain the difference between a join and a union in SQL, or something similar in whatever language you're most comfortable with?
What they are checking: baseline technical fluency in data manipulation fundamentals
Have you worked on anything involving machine learning or predictive modeling? Walk me through what the model was trying to predict and how you evaluated it.
What they are checking: depth of exposure to ML concepts for those applying toward that track within the analytics rotation
