There are two concentric pipes. The inner pipe is made up of aluminum. The outer pipe (made out of steel) has a thickness such that the cross sectional area of the two pipes are the same. There is a plate that compresses the two pipes. What is the stress distribution? Which pipe takes on more load?
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.
