I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX (Cape Canaveral, FL) in Sept 2023
Interview
Interview process consisted of one recruiter screen, technical phone screen with team leads, technical screen with senior manager, and final in person interview with presentation.
All interviews consisted of questions regarding previous engineering experiences (on resume) or hypothetical fluids/thermo questions.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at SpaceX (Cape Canaveral, FL) in Nov 2025
Interview
The interview started with 15 minute going through your past project / experiences. Followed up with 15 minute rapid fire technical questions (3 questions including topics from mechanical, fluids, and FEA)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If your FEA tells you the part fails, do you trust it?
The first round was a technical interview with lots of rapid fire technical questions. It was over the phone which made it hard to stop and think about how to answer each question.
