I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX (Hawthorne, CA) in Aug 2025
Interview
A phone call with a recruiter to discuss fit-check, then 45 mins to one hour long online technical interview with sr. engineer and final in-person 3-5 interviews in the office.
Very unpleasant, interviewer looked distracted and cut me off when I couldn't answer the question in set time. Ended interview early very rudely. I hope that not all interviews at this company are like this.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Simple program relating to flight software. Used C/C++
First is a recruiter screening and a take home coding test which is a satellite configuration optimization problem based on certain angle/signal beam constraints. Next is a coding round (1 leetcode medium). After that is an onsite where you have to present about a project you worked on, followed by several 1-1 interviews where they go over your background.
