Question 1
Please describe stress and strain in simple terms.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX (McGregor, TX) in Mar 2026
Interview
3 Rounds of interviews. First was a 30 minute phone call with a majority of questions being conceptual technical questions. The second was an hour zoom with multiple engineers, half about the work I have completed in the past and the second half technical whiteboard questions. Final was on-site presentation about technical achievements as well as more written whiteboard questions with the engineering team.
Applied online and got an interview in a week. It was a 30 minute screening call with typical behavioral questions and questions about my resume. There were also a few technical questions at the end.

Interview
The interview process consisted of a 4 stages: 1 phone screen, 1 phone interview with hiring manager, 1 phone interview with a Responsible Engineer on the team, and 1 on-site interview. The phone screen was typical. The phone interviews were more technical and related to the job. The on-site interview was a technical presentation about one of your projects to a panel of 7 members from the team followed by 1-on-1 or 2-on-1 interviews, and a hands-on assessment.
