Manufacturing Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I actually didn't get hired my first time through the interview process. On the first go-around, I had one interview in the Structures department and was told a few days later (I think 3-4) that SpaceX would not be pursuing an offer for me.

I stayed in contact with my interviewer, however. A few months later, I emailed him about my continued interest and passion for working at SpaceX. In a matter of hours, the hiring manager reached out to me for a potential Fall internship for a manufacturing engineering position.

I interviewed with a manager and a team lead and was called a couple of days later about being extended an offer.
