I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX in Aug 2023
Interview
I applied for the above position and was contacted several days later for an initial screening interview - mostly informational. I was then contacted several days later to schedule a follow-on technical interview with a manger. Overall, the interview process was smooth and I was contacted within 3 days of the second interview that I was not selected. No complaints on my end.
