I applied through college or university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at SpaceX (West Lafayette, IN) in Oct 2015
Interview
A month after a job fair I got a call from a recruiter. The recruiter told me that a manager was interested in interviewing me for a position I wasn't really interested in. I wanted to try out manufacturing engineering so I asked if I could change my resume to better exhibit my manufacturing experience. The recruiter allowed me to change my resume and re-circulated it, one of the managers was interested and asked to interview me. I got an offer the day after my interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: What was one of the most challenging situations you have faced at work and how did you deal with it?
I applied online. I interviewed at SpaceX in Jun 2026
Interview
I completed the initial 20- 30-minute call. This did not have any technical questions. I provided my portfolio and explained how certain projects fit this role. I was given the next interview and set up a time at the end of this call.
Phone screen with recruiter followed by two phone calls with engineers and then an on-site interview where you present a presentation on a topic of your choice. Also other technical interviews on site as well.
Got reached out to by a recruiter on LinkedIn. Setting up an interview time was easy. The first interview screening was basically describing your past experiences. The second interview is technical. Whole process took a week.
