I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX (Hawthorne, CA) in Apr 2017
Interview
Paid travel to CA from Pensacola FL, great hotel, unbelievable presentation, interview session was intense and detailed, by a number of interviewers over 2 days, video conferences and phone calls later they realized I was not playing around, and my value, I asked a humble sum and was extended an offer, now i build devices that DO go to space!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
about my experience and ability with tools and math, materiel and safety, and examples of work environment situational reactive answers, it is never an option to be dishonest or to hide accidents!
