Was contacted a few months after submitting application. First call from HR included general screening / behavioral questions, such as why I was interested in working there, etc. Phone interview was schedule. Phone interview was about 40-50 minutes long. Started off talking about resume and past projects for about 10 minutes. the rest was technical questions, ranging from basic thermodynamic concepts to specifics about the general workings of rocket engines. I was told I would hear back in two weeks. Two weeks passed, didn't hear back, emailed HR, and they got back to me within one more week and I was told they were looking for someone with a different skill set.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at SpaceX
Interview
The process consisted of two phone screens, one with a hiring manager and one with a senior engineer, and an onsite interview. The first call included behavioural and technical questions and the second call was almost exclusively technical.
Good interview process got asked a lot of technical questions first interview. Interesting since I was not the major for the role. I think it is pretty interesting interview tbh i don’t know
Started with a recruiter screening with 3 technical questions, then had a 30 minute technical interview with a manager followed by a 30 minute technical interview with a director. After that got an on site interview which consisted of a 30-minute technical presentation and then 5 one-on-one technical interviews/techinical walk-and-talks with various engineers, managers, and directors.
