I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX in May 2025
Interview
Phone screen with basic engineering questions, mechanics, and fluids focused.
In-depth technical interview across all engineering disciplines, mechanics, fluids, electronics, and heat transfer.
Soft skills interview discussing duties more specific to the role

Question 1
Describe a time when you learned something deeply technical that was not engineering or science-related.
interview process was long and tedious. started with a recruiter screening, minimal technical questions, then moved to a hiring manager technical interview, following this was a technical presentation to a panel of engineers, i was then brought on site for an interview which included another pannel interview, site walkaround and questioning, then a written multiple choise mechanical assessmnet.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at SpaceX (Cape Canaveral, FL) in Nov 2025
Interview
The interview started with 15 minute going through your past project / experiences. Followed up with 15 minute rapid fire technical questions (3 questions including topics from mechanical, fluids, and FEA)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If your FEA tells you the part fails, do you trust it?
The first round was a technical interview with lots of rapid fire technical questions. It was over the phone which made it hard to stop and think about how to answer each question.
