      Manufacturing Engineer Interview

      3 Dec 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Hawthorne, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at SpaceX (Hawthorne, CA) in Dec 2023

      Interview

      4 total rounds (3 phone, 1 onsite). 1st round was recruiter screening, 2nd round technical with team member, 3rd round behavioral with team member, and 4th round was onsite. Onsite interview included a tour of manufacturing floor, followed by my delivery of a 25min presentation on a technical project of my choice from previous experience. This is followed by six 1-on-1s with the team and lunch. I made it through 2/6 of the 1-on-1s before I was escorted out. These interviews varied from technical to behavioral. Team was very polite and easy to talk to, Manager took time to give me detailed feedback and specifics on why they would not be extending an offer. Very constructive criticism and strongly encouraged to reapply after gaining more experience. Appreciated the detailed feedback and encouragement from the team. Based on casual conversations and lunch with members of the team can tell the atmosphere is that of people taking pride in their work and maintaining high standards for one another. Overall the experience was fun and enlightening. Didnt see a lot of "tired" or "depressed" faces. Regular people working hard, living and breathing space.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      - You said your previous company would test 5 parts per batch, but how many would YOU test and why? - Draw a box plot for how you would manufacture this part *after studying engineering drawing for 5min*

      Technical interview, pretty simple beam questions. Interview with lead engineer was about different machining/bonding techniques. Not a bad process. The recruiter was pretty responsive. Did not get another interview after interview with lead.
