I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX (Boston, MA) in Oct 2023
Interview
They conducted two thirty minute phone calls over two weeks. They asked a ton of technical questions and about experience. They also ask you to walk through the technical aspects of a project you've worked on.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked numerous mechanics of materials questions and definitions. They also asked about a cantilever beam and what you would change about it to make it stronger.
First round was straight into technical questions. They didn't even ask me tell me about yourself. I think there was miscommunication with the recruiter and my interviewer. But either way he was not warm or welcoming at all.

Question 1
Technical question about stress and strain and another about basic physics
I applied online. I interviewed at SpaceX (Brownsville, TX)
Interview
The interview was over the phone which was an horrible experience. The interviewer will give difficult technical questions for the entire 40 minutes, and you just gotta do your best to answer it with no hints. The connection in Brownsville is terrible and will cut up a lot and even just disconnect.

Question 1
If the spacecraft was being transported in a truck while being tied to an aluminium chain, what are some of the fallacies that could happen?
