I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at SpaceX (Texas City, TX) in Dec 2025
Interview
very rigorous and thorough. kept on asking technically questions regarding my projects and other questions. mostly looking at design process. asked a lot of questions roughly an hour long but takes longer if good questions are asked.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
where would a cantilever beam break if it was fixed on one end and a force was applied on the other.
Multiple rounds of interviews ending with an all day onsite interview. Asked questions about background, classic textbook problems, and coworker interactions. Very technical and difficult. Lots of time spent trying to understand your thought process
Rigorous but fairly reasonable in my experience. The technical problems often has a twist but if you have strong fundamentals you should be able to perform well. The recruiter and interviewers I interacted with are all very nice people.
4 rounds, 1 with technical recruiter, 1 with engineer, 1 with manager, and onsite. first 3 are over the phone. onsite was the challenge, consists of presentation, one-on-ones, and tour.
