      Mechanical Engineer Interview

      Jan 1, 2025
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX in Dec 2024

      Interview

      Hr asked general/ technical questions and gave an overview of the company. The hiring manager was next. He missed the call. HR rescheduled to a different date. The hiring manager was easy to talk to, I felt he'd be a great manager to report to. The questions were general and technical.. stress and strain questions. The role itself is a project manager type of role not as technical as I'd hope.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Brush up on statics, heat transfer and materials
