I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at SpaceX in Aug 2016
Interview
The interview mostly focused on previous projects and experiences. Most of the questions were behavioral and some questions towards the end became more technical. Mainly looking at how you approach a problem.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe how you were innovative in a previous project?
4-5 Calls with technical and behavioral recruiter followed by design project (4-5 hrs of work) and final interview on site. Technical questions required thought and coursework to answer successfully. Design project was a serious undertaking that took more time.

I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX in Aug 2021
Interview
Reached out to a recruiter who set me up for an interview with a Starlink engineer. Went okay, asked a few technical questions and a few behavioural questions. Was a little informal but overall not the worst interview in the world.
Fast-paced interview with many technical questions. Started off with questions about my resume and past experience then transitioned to a mix of technical mechanical design questions. Nothing was terribly difficult there was just a large variety in the kinds of questions asked and their specific topics.
