I applied online. I interviewed at SpaceX (Cape Canaveral, FL)
Interview
Technical screening. Resume review, then some simple technical questions at the end. Overall very easy, was told I would be forwared to the hiring manager, which then told me later on that the position was looking for someone with more experience (I was interviewing for a full-time position as an undergrad)

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX (Vandenberg AFB, CA) in Jun 2025
Interview
Few rounds of technicals, call with recruiter (HR), made it to the on site interview. After I gave my presentation, I took a written multiple choice test, while they were grading that, I went on the facility tour and was asked a bunch of technical questions. I truly thought I did well on this but as I got back from the tour the recruiter informed me that the team decided to not move forward for the 1-1s that were scheduled. This was a super frustrating part of the process.
