Shaping the future of space travel
Shaping the future of space travel
Always a new challenge and a fast-paced work environment. The scope of work is flexible and adaptive.
Extremely long hours! It's hard to set boundaries and continue to meet expectations.
We continue to ask so much of employees—to work 6 days a week and 12-hour shifts—but I feel like more and more is being taken from us every quarter.
Please be flexible with people who continue to give more and more.
The culture at SpaceX is continuously shifting to be more corporate.

SpaceX Interview Experiences
Manufacturing Engineer
I applied online. It was a 30-minute phone call with a non-engineering recruiter. She asked basic logistics questions first, like is it okay to work 50 to 60 hours, including weekends. Then she prepared some quick technical questions.
Manufacturing Engineer
Recruiter screens focused on first principles and the fundamentals of engineering, like stress-strain curves, bending moments, and material properties related to common metals. There were also questions related to salary and availability.
Manufacturing Engineer
Multiple phone screens, then all-day onsite with a panel, including 5 1:1s. Questions covered machines and strength of materials. The last interview was with a VP and area managers. Overall, a positive experience, and I got a good idea of the hire/no
