I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX (Hawthorne, CA) in Feb 2024
Interview
CFD-like role. Questions about resume, C++, and LC medium. The first interviewer grilled me hard on random questions about my resume as well as on DSA basics such as runtime complexity of adding to hashmap, ect. Overall, pretty easy if you can handle the pressure. Ended with a LC medium for the first interview. Second round was more chill, and more of a conversational type of interview with a lead engineer. Didn't get past the second round, but I wasn't super interested in the role when I found out it was going to be pretty ML heavy.
