I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at SpaceX (Bastrop, TX) in Apr 2025
Interview
First round interview was a 30 minute phone call with a recruiter. Casual rundown of the company position and benefits. Not many questions asked except for 5 question technical concept quiz.

Question 1
What is the water pressure in a shower head (multiple choice)
A beam is supported on both ends, there is a point load applied 1/4 of the length from the left support. Where is the maximum load stress? (multiple choice)
Phone Call with the team, three interviews then they decide on giving you an offer or not. It wasn’t too hard. It was casual at first and they asked me what a couple acryms were.

Question 1
If we are out of space and need to add a production line in, what do we do?
Several rounds of interviews. First just a call with a recruiter that's really relaxed. Then one with HM, then take-home technical assessment, then follow-up interview. They ask brain teaser-like questions about modifications to scenarios. If you pass, you are flown on-site for a presentation and many one-on-one interviews. Really involved process.

Question 1
Tell me about a problem you solved with engineering
Had a great call with a nice talent acquisition person. They said I'd have two 30-min technical calls, followed by an on-site presentation and skill assessment.
First call was introductory but they still look for a lot of passion in their products and mission.
