First, a call with the technical recruiter. It was very short, just 6 minutes. They asked:

• If I had U.S. citizenship or a green card.
• What years I earned my degrees.
• Why SpaceX.

Next, there was a 30-minute call with the lead engineer and a manager. They asked about my past experience and wanted to understand how they could benefit from it.

Then, there was a remote presentation, likely due to COVID-19, with three managers and two HR representatives. It went okay. They again asked some questions about my past experience.

Sometime after the call, an HR representative called and said the feedback was good, but they had decided not to continue with my application. I was super surprised and upset, but I truly appreciated the feedback.

Q.: How can you help us?

Q.: Do you have experience building any pieces of equipment?

Q.: Was there something that went wrong in your previous job?
