      Embedded Software Engineer (Starlink) Interview

      20 Feb 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Hawthorne, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at SpaceX (Hawthorne, CA) in Feb 2026

      Interview

      Was reached out to by technical recruiter within a week of applying online for the role. Quickly set up a 30 minute call with him which consisted of a brief walkthrough of my resume and some more focused questions on contributions to a project relevant to the role as well as some boilerplate questions about "Why SpaceX" and disclaimers about long working hours. At the end of that call, was sent a link to set up a call with the team lead engineer for the role. This call was about 45 minutes where about 35min were an EXTREMELY deep dive into a relevant project to the role as well as a puzzle sort of question at the end. Did not continue with the process from here but was informed that the next steps would be a live coding sessions with a couple of engineers followed by a final full-day onsite interview/tour and meeting the team. Overall a positive interview experience that moved very fast.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why SpaceX? Why did you make [X] design choice on this project? How did [X] component work/fit into the overall system? If you have 1000 $1 bills and 10 envelopes, how could you distribute the dollars amongst the envelopes so that you could create any value with the envelopes?
