I applied through other source. I interviewed at SpaceX (Boca Chica and Medford Colonia, TX) in Jan 2020
Interview
They asked questions about my experience, interests, and other stuff on my resume. They also asked questions on aerospace engineering fundamentals such as structures and aerodynamics. Be ready to answer questions as you talk about your interests.

Question 1
Describe the hardest challenge you faced during my projects.
Completely virtual, 3 30 minute phone calls, some technical questions and some resume questions. Overall not terrible and they definitely use a standard question bank because I have gotten similar questions.

Question 1
Imagine a hot dog as a pressure vessel. Does it split laterally or longitudinally and why?
There was an initial phone call. Next, there was another phone technical interview. They gave engineering questions that were more basic but difficult if you did not take the classes.
