Process
Met at a career fair, where I was given a code to text. The code tailored the positions I was eligible for, and I applied to all of them.
After the career fair, I received an email asking for more information (immigration status, etc.), then a screening with a recruiter over the phone, then a technical phone interview with a senior engineer.
I received invitations to interview from two different SpaceX sites.
