I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX
Interview
1 HR interview and then 2 rounds of technical interviews, all phone calls. Asked to complete a DV project and write a presentation. I passed these rounds and then flew out for an onsite interview. This consisted of a presentation and then 4 technical interviews with 2 employees each. Most rounds were a mix of DV, SystemVerilog, digital design, OOP, and sorting/selection algorithms. I was not prepared for optimized sorting algorithm questions. Most interviewers/employees were nice but a few were rude and/or poor at communicating their question.

I applied online. I interviewed at SpaceX (Irvine, CA) in Jan 2026
Interview
4 rounds, screening —> technical —> technical —> onsite. Almost all questions were technical. Questions on resume and OOP. Took a while but largely my fault due to scheduling conflicts
impersonal, didn't read my resume before the interview. asked 5 technical questions regarding scripting, systemverilog, digital logic fundamentals, and UVM. interviewer had camera off as well and didnt seem to care about explaining their team's work or anything.
