I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX (Hawthorne, CA) in Jul 2022
Interview
Took 3 weeks (had to quarantine for 2 weeks or would've gone faster). Questions were difficult but good challenge. 1 initial screening, two follow-up phone interviews, one on-site interview/presentation. Team seemed like good, smart people. Whole process was very enjoyable. On-site interviews much more difficult, questions could be standard ones they ask everyone or completely random ones, more importantly they're looking to pick your brain and see how you approach engineering problems. You will either get a job offer before you leave on-site interviews or you'll be notified you didn't.

Question 1
Standard ME questions (stress vs strain, parallel springs supporting mass, natural frequency, etc)
I applied online. I interviewed at SpaceX (Brownsville, TX)
Interview
Asked technical questions regarding basic college engineering fundamentals, asked engineering portfolio questions regarding previous internship and project experiences, and asked hypotheticals based on what areas were owned on those projects.
First was with a lead engineer (technical), then with a recruiter (behavioral), then with another lead engineer (technical), future would have been on site. It was a very accelerated timeline and fast process.
Multiple rounds of interviews ending with an all day onsite interview. Asked questions about background, classic textbook problems, and coworker interactions. Very technical and difficult. Lots of time spent trying to understand your thought process
