I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at SpaceX in Mar 2016
Interview
I actually didn't get hired my first time through the interview process. On the first go around, I had one interview in the Structures department, and was told a few (I think 3-4) days later that SpaceX would not be pursuing an offer for me. I stayed in contact with my interviewer, however, and a few months later, emailed him about my continued interest and passion for working at SpaceX. In a matter of hours, the hiring manager reached out to me for a potential Fall internship for a manufacturing engineering position. I interviewed with a manager and a team lead, and was called a couple days later about being extended an offer.
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.
