I applied online. I interviewed at SpaceX in Jan 2026
Interview
1 call with hiring manager, followed by 1 call with the engineering lead. Hiring manager interview was non technical and mostly administrative. In the second interview I was asked to discuss one of my projects and questions were asked as to why I made certain choices. Followed by a discussion on developing inspection and test parameters for various materials.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Tell me about a project and how you solved a problem?
Smooth and easy. Can be a little intimidating they asked for gpa even if you graduated long time ago. Overall wasn’t too bad if you come prepared and research the company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe how your previous experience pertains to the job
Only made it to first interview. Was asked to describe in detail my research experience, but was continuously told to speed up. Despite this being an entry position, he wasn't impressed that I had no production experience and it ended there.
