J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez SpaceX (Hawthorne, CA)
Entretien
Recruiter contacted me and promptly called me for a phone screening.
Two more phone screenings with Hiring Manager, then a member of the team for the role. Basic questions about experience here, going deep on a few things.
On-Site invitation given. On-Site interview involved an initial presentation with 8 people in the room (including a VP), which involved some questioning to probe into my knowledge and role on the project, and some questions about my thought process on different decisions. Then proceeded to 6 individual interviews with each of the presentation attendees, minus the VP.

First interview was ~30 minutes, mostly talking about the salary and culture of working there. Some light technical questions like what is Young's Modulus and stuff like that. Second round was more about wanting to see how you think, they set up a test failure scenario and wanted me to walk through how I would figure out what the issue was/mitigate it in the future.
