I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at SpaceX (Hawthorne, CA) in Apr 2023
Interview
The SpaceX interview process is very extensive, with approximately 2 months elapsing between my application to the position to my onsite interview. The process consists of an initial phone screen followed by one or more technical phone interviews. These focused on core engineering knowledge and asking resume-focused questions. The onsite interview consisted of a 20-minute technical presentation to a team of engineers followed by a series of one-on-one interviews with managers and higher-level engineers. These interviews covered software (coding exercises), hardware (understanding of test procedures), EE fundamentals (circuit diagrams, understanding circuit components), and personality (classic HR questions). The onsite process took approximately 6 hours and was rather grueling. I received an offer within 24 hours of the onsite, which I declined.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX (McGregor, TX) in Mar 2026
Interview
3 Rounds of interviews. First was a 30 minute phone call with a majority of questions being conceptual technical questions. The second was an hour zoom with multiple engineers, half about the work I have completed in the past and the second half technical whiteboard questions. Final was on-site presentation about technical achievements as well as more written whiteboard questions with the engineering team.
Applied online and got an interview in a week. It was a 30 minute screening call with typical behavioral questions and questions about my resume. There were also a few technical questions at the end.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX
Interview
The interview process consisted of a 4 stages: 1 phone screen, 1 phone interview with hiring manager, 1 phone interview with a Responsible Engineer on the team, and 1 on-site interview. The phone screen was typical. The phone interviews were more technical and related to the job. The on-site interview was a technical presentation about one of your projects to a panel of 7 members from the team followed by 1-on-1 or 2-on-1 interviews, and a hands-on assessment.
