      Dynamic Engineer Interview

      23 Jun 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Hawthorne, CA
      No offer
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at SpaceX in Jul 2014

      Interview

      I got an onsite interview for a structures engineer just out of college. The interview started with me presenting a short technical presentation on something I did. From there I was sat down in a room to interview one on one with who ever was interested. The first interview was basically a quiz of some basic statics problems you should have remembered from school, shear and moment diagrams free body diagrams, stuff like that. They then turned into more complicated thought experiments like how to design the optimum beam for a certain load, what material and what shape should it be, it's not so much that you get the right answer but how you got there. The interview then continued with several short, 20 min or so, one on one interviews from a bunch of different people. Everyone had their one or two trick questions to ask on everything from vibration modes to computer programming. They then asked you about your experience and what you've done in the past, pretty much whatever you put on your resume. By the end of the day you might have zero interviews or you might have 10, you interview with whoever is interested in talking to you and it takes as long as it takes, mine took over 7 hours total. In the end your exhausted but you get a very good feeling about how the company operates and if its something your interested in.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      If you had a simply supported rectangular shaped beam with a single load in the middle how would you optimize the thickness of the beam to minimize weight. What material would you make it out of to maximize stiffness for the same mass. What about if it was a circular tube or if it was in just compression or tension and how does that change your answer.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at SpaceX (Hawthorne, CA) in Jun 2024

      Interview

      I received email after applying two weeks, and the HR schedule a phone interview which was quick and easy. He schedule a second phone round interview which was with Engineering, that I send them my previous work at and the guys didn't understand none of my previous works at school. He asked so many questions that was not related to what I did. They things they're having the right people in their hiring team but no.

      Question 1

      All question ask was related to your background, but HR don't understand they're talking to a student who need to lean a lot.

      The interveiw process was long but felt like they were careful in determining who they would allow. Each step took about a week. I only got through 4 steps before being dropped.
