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

I applied online. I interviewed at SpaceX (Brownsville, TX)
Interview
Asked technical questions regarding basic college engineering fundamentals, asked engineering portfolio questions regarding previous internship and project experiences, and asked hypotheticals based on what areas were owned on those projects.
First was with a lead engineer (technical), then with a recruiter (behavioral), then with another lead engineer (technical), future would have been on site. It was a very accelerated timeline and fast process.
Multiple rounds of interviews ending with an all day onsite interview. Asked questions about background, classic textbook problems, and coworker interactions. Very technical and difficult. Lots of time spent trying to understand your thought process
