I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX (Brownsville, TX) in Feb 2023
Interview
Wasn’t too bad, recruiter reached out and had a 20min phone conversation about experience and interests. Following that was an hour technical session with one of the managers, where I was asked questions on various things
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
Rigorous but fairly reasonable in my experience. The technical problems often has a twist but if you have strong fundamentals you should be able to perform well. The recruiter and interviewers I interacted with are all very nice people.
