      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX (McGregor, TX) in Dec 2020

      Interview

      The interview consisted of one recruiter phone call, followed by a second technical phone interview. Was off an on-site that included a tour of the site and ~20 min presentation, and finally was interviewed by the site director.

      Question 1

      High level, design a pressure fed fluid system that’s used to cool another fluid system.
      Answer question

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at SpaceX

      Interview

      The interview process is a tiered process. Three phone interviews before an on-site interview with multiple engineers. Be prepared for technical questions, including orbital dynamics, attitude control, etc. The on-site interview begins with a tour through their facilities. Try to remember some details to regurgitate during the interviews.

      Question 1

      Did you remember the name of the tour guide?
