Reached out to a recruiter online and set up a call. Had a quick phone screen and then a more in depth interview. Phone screen was the usual basic info and the interview was talking about my projects and experience and some basic fundamental meche interview questions about material selection and beam building.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you support a beam if weight didn't matter, how would you do it optimizing for weight?
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
