I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX (Los Angeles, CA) in Dec 2018
Interview
Several Phone Interviews, one with a recruiter, one with an engineer, one with a manager, and one with a lead engineer. Process is still not complete however, will update when I am finished.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mostly just asked questions about experience on my Resume.
Phone screen with recruiter followed by two phone calls with engineers and then an on-site interview where you present a presentation on a topic of your choice. Also other technical interviews on site as well.
Got reached out to by a recruiter on LinkedIn. Setting up an interview time was easy. The first interview screening was basically describing your past experiences. The second interview is technical. Whole process took a week.
Technical interview, pretty simple beam questions. Interview with lead engineer was about different machining/bonding techniques. Not a bad process. The recruiter was pretty responsive. Did not get another interview after interview with lead.

Question 1
If you applied a point load on a beam at the end, at which point does the beam experience the highest stress?
