I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX (Hawthorne, CA) in Feb 2017
Interview
Contacted by recruiter, had two phone calls with technical leads, got invited on site for tour and interview. Gave a presentation about a previous technical project, then had one on one interviews with a few of them involving resume discussion and challenging thought problems they're currently looking at with respect to rocket manufacturing.

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.
