I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at SpaceX in Nov 2020
Interview
Two technical interviews; the first was very specific technical EE questions. When I answered a question correctly, I was asked to explain it intuitively, and walked through the problem with the interviewer when I didn't know the answer. The second was more typical questions about my past experience with engineering projects.

Give me a previous work experience you've had to trouble shoot and what did you do.
First round phone screen, second round technical interview. Phone screen was a vibe e-check to make sure my resume was legit and I was passionate. Passed both interviews, they asked for availability for a third round interview, but I got ghosted after that.
