I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX in Jun 2015
Interview
Was contacted by phone for an interview a few weeks after I submitted my resume online. They asked for information such as GPA, Major, and ACT score. The actual interview was a few days later and lasted an hour. Mostly they asked about questions on my resume but also asked me technical questions about the position. Were as interested in how you worked through the question as much as the actual answer.

Question 1
How would you go about a design for an electrical harness to protect it from a sharp object falling from above?
I applied online, and a recruiter reached out a few months later to set up my first interview with a Team Lead. It went well so I moved onto the second interview with the Team Manager. Both interviews were extremely technical and they grilled you on your projects.
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

Question 1
Which pillar in a rigid structure bears the most weight?
Very simple questions, but very specific to the role. There were multiple rounds, and each round was different. Again, very specific to the role and i was rejected for one position, then my former interviews were used to determine my qualification for a different position.
