I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at SpaceX (Redmond, WA) in Feb 2023
Interview
Tough second interview- be ready for questions that are there to trick you a bit. For example, one was to consider a refrigeration unit that is infinitely efficient and left open inside of a room that is perfectly insulated- will the temperature change? Talk through your answers and ask clarifying questions clearly. I will note that with these very theoretical questions, you need some assumptions to solve them and would think that you need to ask about potential assumptions, but my interview seemingly really did not like that.
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
