Had two exploratory conversations with members of the Build Reliability Engineering team.

Next, three rounds of technical interviews over the phone:

• With a recruiter
• The BRE team lead
• The BRE engineering manager

The final interviewer was super combative and aggressive and made me feel terrible.

I didn't make it to the onsite stage, but I would have had to give a presentation with panel interviews plus multiple one-on-ones.

Why do you want to work for SpaceX?

Why do you think you're a good fit for this role?

Can you tell me about a time when you went above and beyond your job description?

If you could write a job description on a blank sheet of paper, what would be on it?

Can you walk me through your experience with your most technically challenging project? If you could go back and change something about that project, what would it be?

If you had to give a TED talk on a technical subject, what would it be?

What is a personal quality you're proud of outside of work?

If you identified a deficiency in a part, how would you go about resolving that deficiency and improving the manufacturing process?
