      Mechanical (Tooling) Engineer Interview

      20 Jan 2021
      Anonymous employee
      Hawthorne, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at SpaceX (Hawthorne, CA) in Jan 2021

      Interview

      The overall process took just over a month to complete. There were multiple interviews involved: Step 1. 30 min phone interview with Recruiter Step 2. 1 hour phone technical interview with team members Step 3. 1 hour phone technical interview with team members Step 4. 20-25 min virtual presentation on most technical project followed by questions Step 5. Take home engineering test to bring to interviews. Step 6. 6x 30 min 1 on 1 on-site interviews with team and recruiter Step 7. Accepted offer letter a week later I would highly recommend making a work portfolio to go along with your resume as this helps create great talking points throughout the interview process.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Be ready to answer fundamental engineering questions and questions about your previous projects and experience. The questions were never unfair, but did make you think critically and creatively.
