I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX in Mar 2023
Interview
- medium difficulty, lots of beam bending question and statics questions
- two phone calls, 30 min. Be prepared for first principles fundamentals, stress strain, heat transfer, hoop stress, kinematics
Three 30 minute phone calls then an onsite interview with a power point presentation on previous projects. Phone interviews consisted of a HR check and then two technical interviews. The technical interviews were pretty standard beam in bending, stress vs strain and failure modes.
