Interview
Applied through an initiative with the FIRST Robotics Competition. The application centered on a portfolio, which most of the interview was spent discussing, plus the standard why SpaceX, what would you contribute, would you be a good fit sort of questions. The whole process took from May to July, and then August of the following year I got a request to formally apply through their job board to ensure I was still a qualified candidate, and a final interview in September.
The interview started off with the interviewer asking a few behavioral questions, with the majority of the interview consisted of technical questions about engineering fundamentals and applying them to scenarios
