I applied through college or university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at SpaceX (West Lafayette, IN) in Oct 2015
Interview
A month after a job fair I got a call from a recruiter. The recruiter told me that a manager was interested in interviewing me for a position I wasn't really interested in. I wanted to try out manufacturing engineering so I asked if I could change my resume to better exhibit my manufacturing experience. The recruiter allowed me to change my resume and re-circulated it, one of the managers was interested and asked to interview me. I got an offer the day after my interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: What was one of the most challenging situations you have faced at work and how did you deal with it?
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.
