I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX in Apr 2021
Interview
The interview process is long. It contains an initial screening, two technical interviews, possibly another HR interview, and then a long onsite interview day. The technical interviews are difficult, especially for someone with little field experience, but with proper experience, I believe that the technical questions are doable as they revolved around problem troubleshooting.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Industry related questions relating to your background (from resume) or from previous SpaceX manufacturing problems where they are looking for distinct and intelligent solutions.
Phone screen with recruiter followed by two phone calls with engineers and then an on-site interview where you present a presentation on a topic of your choice. Also other technical interviews on site as well.
Got reached out to by a recruiter on LinkedIn. Setting up an interview time was easy. The first interview screening was basically describing your past experiences. The second interview is technical. Whole process took a week.
Technical interview, pretty simple beam questions. Interview with lead engineer was about different machining/bonding techniques. Not a bad process. The recruiter was pretty responsive. Did not get another interview after interview with lead.

Question 1
If you applied a point load on a beam at the end, at which point does the beam experience the highest stress?
