I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2015
Interview
Phone interview with recruiter, then with direct manager. If you pass they bring you onsite. They treat you to lunch and a tour of the factory before you must give a presentation on your accomplishments in front of a panel ranging from managers to directors. Then each of those present personally interview you 30 minutes at a time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us a time when you fought authority to get what you wanted, and benefit the project?
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.
