Brief phone screen with recruiter, then had 2 additional phone interviews with members of the team. Process took about 2 weeks before being ghosted.
The initial phone screen was straightforward: Why SpaceX? Tell me about yourself/experience. What is your GPA? SAT? Would you be willing to work 50+ hours? etc.
1st technical interview was more difficult than I expected. They asked more in-depth questions about my resume to test whether I measured up to what was on my resume. Then they asked fairly difficult questions on how I would design different test setups, what materials would be used, what parameters to consider. These questions weren't something you could prepare for in advance (best way is to just have a good grasp of mechanical engineering in general). At the end I did not believe I did well enough based on my responses, but I was contacted for a 2nd technical interview.
2nd technical interview, the engineer I interviewed with was 15 minutes late and came across as very disinterested and seemed strapped for time. I prepared ahead of time for their particular discipline, but they asked no technical questions and instead focused on my resume. I was told that I would receive a response shortly from the recruiter.
After a follow up email and receiving no reply back. I received a rejection email a few days later with no feedback. Very weird.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Why SpaceX? What is your GPA/SAT? Tell me about yourself? What kind of testing have you performed?
J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez SpaceX (Brownsville, TX)
Entretien
Asked technical questions regarding basic college engineering fundamentals, asked engineering portfolio questions regarding previous internship and project experiences, and asked hypotheticals based on what areas were owned on those projects.
First was with a lead engineer (technical), then with a recruiter (behavioral), then with another lead engineer (technical), future would have been on site. It was a very accelerated timeline and fast process.

Entretien
Multiple rounds of interviews ending with an all day onsite interview. Asked questions about background, classic textbook problems, and coworker interactions. Very technical and difficult. Lots of time spent trying to understand your thought process
