I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at SpaceX (Brownsville, TX) in Oct 2025
Interview
Recruiter reached out via txt message, Two phone screens, one people and one technical focused - Technical questions were pretty straightforward checking fundamentals. The onsite interview was scheduled within a few weeks - they cover flights and housing. The interview starts with a technical portfolio review and then switches to one on one factory walkthroughs where you answer technical questions about things that are pointed out on the line. Pretty cool team and fun interview process

Normal cantilever beam question. Force on one end, where does the beam break. It then expanded off of that into what if it was hollow, what if it was made of a composite, and what if the diameter was doubled.
