I applied through college or university. I interviewed at SpaceX (Bastrop, TX)
Interview
This was a very highly technical interview despite being my first interaction with the recruiter. I was pressured to answer quickly despite initially the interviewer's reassurance to take my time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you optimize a spacecraft launch under unfavorable conditions?
I applied online. I interviewed at SpaceX (Brownsville, TX)
Interview
Asked technical questions regarding basic college engineering fundamentals, asked engineering portfolio questions regarding previous internship and project experiences, and asked hypotheticals based on what areas were owned on those projects.
First was with a lead engineer (technical), then with a recruiter (behavioral), then with another lead engineer (technical), future would have been on site. It was a very accelerated timeline and fast process.
Multiple rounds of interviews ending with an all day onsite interview. Asked questions about background, classic textbook problems, and coworker interactions. Very technical and difficult. Lots of time spent trying to understand your thought process
