I applied through other source. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX (Los Angeles, CA) in Dec 2017
Interview
First had two phone screens: one with a team member and the other with the team manager. The phone screens were behavioral + resume stuff. Really know what you out on your resume because they will dig into it.
Was then invited out for an on-site. On site started with a tour of the production floor. Then gave a 30 minute presentation on something bi designed with a 30 minute Q&A session after. Then had several 1:1 and 2:1 interviews with the team members, management, and director. Some of the 1/2:1s we're totally technical, asking me to solve design problems and critique designs, others were a mix of technical and behavioral.
