The interview process was definitely challenging as SpaceX seeks to hire the best talent available and intends to verify that notion via their interviews. The information I encountered online prior to my interview proved to be quite accurate. The phone screenings were standard and relatively straightforward. The onsite interview included a panel presentation and one-on-one interviews. These were far more challenging and certainly technical given the nature of the role. The key is to demonstrate your skills, be curious, and above all be honest.

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.
