      Engineering Interview

      Apr 1, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Hawthorne, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at SpaceX (Hawthorne, CA) in Mar 2016

      Interview

      Submitted application online, was screened by a recruiter in a 10 minutes phone call, set up an interview over the phone with the manager who I would be working under if the job was offered. One 45 minute phone interview in which we went over the job description, what I would be doing if I was hired, my employment history and skills, and then asked some questions (which you will see below). Though the interviewer said mean time from phone interview to acceptance of offer was 4 weeks, I was offered the job 2 hours after I hung up, and then accepted within 2 business days.

      Engineering Interview

      May 24, 2022
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at SpaceX

      Interview

      The interview had quite a few technical questions regarding fundamental mechanical engineering principles along with some brain teaser questions. The recruiter was very quick at getting back to me. The interviewers were technical leads in their role.

      Engineering Interview

      Nov 22, 2021
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Atlanta, GA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX (Atlanta, GA) in Nov 2021

      Interview

      It was quite a fun experience. I didn't really go into it with many high hopes as I am only a freshman in college but I know how to sell myself and I found it almost like a conversation with the recruiter to learn more about SpaceX.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What do you know about SpaceX and what brings you to SpaceX?

      Engineering Interview

      Dec 19, 2019
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX

      Interview

      Applied online; interviewed with several teams, one of which sent me an offer after talking to their manager and one other team member. All the stages were either 30min or 45min phone interviews.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They try to ride the fine line between technical questions and conceptual/creative ones. They also like questions that start with "How many ways can you think of to...". When you interview with multiple teams they each tend to ask about similar parts of your projects and experiences, so it does get a little bit repetitive.
