      Dragon Manufacturing Engineer Interview

      15 Jun 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Miami, FL
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at SpaceX (Miami, FL) in Dec 2022

      Interview

      It was pretty weird, I told the hiring manager the available dates and he never scheduled a time. I just got a call mid day. The denial is something I had to ask for a month later and even then it didn't have a job title that I was denied for. Overall it felt like a bootleg interview.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How do you set a standard nail on a table so that the force felt by the table is minimized?

      Dragon Manufacturing Engineer Interview

      19 Nov 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Hawthorne, CA
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at SpaceX (Hawthorne, CA) in Sept 2018

      Interview

      Recruiter reached out and followed up with two phone interviews with engineering managers. They asked some technical questions and questions about background. Next was the onsite interview with a panel of nine engineers. You have to make a presentation on a difficult engineering challenge and they ask you questions to figure out how you think. If you make it past presentation phase, the next phase is one on one interviews for the rest of the day. They gave me a swag bag and a tour of the facility.
