I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX (Seattle, WA) in Sept 2024
Interview
They flew me out to seattle, provided a rental car and hotel booked. Presented a project I worked on and asked questions. No big surprises in general. Also got a cool tour of the factory.
Phone call with a recruiter discussing SpaceX, its goals, my resume, professional experience, interest in the role, availability to work overtime, and ability to handle additional responsibilities when needed for the position.
