I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX (Hawthorne, CA) in Jun 2016
Interview
One phone interview. Asked a lot of technical questions relating to composites (manufacture, mechanics, etc.). Asked questions about projects I had worked on in the past and my specific roles in those projects. Asked personal questions (hobbies, goals, etc.) to determine best fit in group. As much about being a good engineer as it is being personable.
I applied online, and a recruiter reached out a few months later to set up my first interview with a Team Lead. It went well so I moved onto the second interview with the Team Manager. Both interviews were extremely technical and they grilled you on your projects.
The interview started off with the interviewer asking a few behavioral questions, with the majority of the interview consisted of technical questions about engineering fundamentals and applying them to scenarios
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Which pillar in a rigid structure bears the most weight?
Very simple questions, but very specific to the role. There were multiple rounds, and each round was different. Again, very specific to the role and i was rejected for one position, then my former interviews were used to determine my qualification for a different position.
