30 min call on personal projects and technical questions with recruiter. Technical questions were relatively simple and focused on engineering fundamentals, about cantilever beam, incompressible/compressible flow, and ideal gas questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How does flow velocity of an incompressible fluid that is in a pipe change when there is a constriction in the pipe?
Rigorous, quick follow up questions, first principle and fundamental grilling. Many conceptual scenarios. Process goes for roughly 5-6 rounds, ending with a presentation onsite. Recruiter first round, then speaking with various members of the team.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at SpaceX (Brownsville, TX) in Feb 2026
Interview
In person interview at my university with an engineer who was on campus for a recruiting visit. Asked me to talk about a project from my resume, and then asked me three technical questions.
