I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at SpaceX
Interview

Good interview process got asked a lot of technical questions first interview. Interesting since I was not the major for the role. I think it is pretty interesting interview tbh i don’t know
Started with a recruiter screening with 3 technical questions, then had a 30 minute technical interview with a manager followed by a 30 minute technical interview with a director. After that got an on site interview which consisted of a 30-minute technical presentation and then 5 one-on-one technical interviews/techinical walk-and-talks with various engineers, managers, and directors.
