I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX (Hawthorne, CA)
Interview
Phone screen followed by technical interview. Phone screen was completely non-technical. Technical interview was fun, combination of seeing if you know how to approach a problem them actually implementing it.
