I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX in Nov 2014
Interview
Pretty straightforward interview overall, but they were looking for someone with liquid engine development experience coming out of college as an undergraduate, which was a little unrealistic. Other than that just asked to expand on resume experience. They wanted to hear about CAD experience and hand drafting experience since that is what they focus on for their liquid engine development group.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What kind of fuel do the different rocket engines at SpaceX use?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at SpaceX
Interview
The process consisted of two phone screens, one with a hiring manager and one with a senior engineer, and an onsite interview. The first call included behavioural and technical questions and the second call was almost exclusively technical.
Good interview process got asked a lot of technical questions first interview. Interesting since I was not the major for the role. I think it is pretty interesting interview tbh i don’t know
Started with a recruiter screening with 3 technical questions, then had a 30 minute technical interview with a manager followed by a 30 minute technical interview with a director. After that got an on site interview which consisted of a 30-minute technical presentation and then 5 one-on-one technical interviews/techinical walk-and-talks with various engineers, managers, and directors.
