J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez SpaceX (Brownsville, TX) en mai 2024
Entretien
Recruiter screen, hiring manager call, online panel interview. First call was very easy. Second call was slightly more difficult. Multiple interviewers late to my panel call, seemed uninterested from the start. Ghosted for weeks until I received an automated rejection.

Question 1
Where would you expect peak bending moment in a cantilever beam with point force applied at the free end?

Entretien
My interview experience at SpaceX was disappointing. The expectations felt extremely high, even for mid-level roles. Missing even one or two questions seemed to stop the process, and there was little tolerance for not knowing something.
It felt like they prioritize candidates who already know everything rather than those willing to learn. Overall, a very rigid and negative experience.
Round 1) Recruiter Phone Call
Round 2-4+) Phone call with Lead Engineer, Manager, etc.
Round 5) On-Site with Technical Presentation and One-on-Ones
I found the questions in the in-person one-on-ones were equal or slightly harder than the phone screening questions
