Process

I had applied to internships on their website and was contacted by a recruiter via phone. We had a brief conversation about my skills and interests in SpaceX. Then, we set up a time for a phone interview with the Test Engineering Manager, about a week away.

That interview went well, and within a week, they got back to me asking for references and completing a background check. I wasn't sure if I had gotten the position at this point, but from what I had researched, it was a pretty high likelihood. Once the background check cleared, which took about a week, they gave me an offer.

Questions

Mostly behavioral questions.

Some technical questions in regards to stresses and deflection in cantilever beams, material selection, and etc.
